Default any cars that sound like ferrari?

are there any other cars, esp. sub $50k ones, that have that same loud, wailing Ferrari/F1 exhaust note? with aftermarket exhaust of course.

Used maserati coupe. One of my neighbors has one and the exhaust sounds like sex. In fact a study recently showed that the maserati exhaust makes women horny.

I'm pretty sure the study said that if the Maserati is used and cost under $50K, it made women "homely" rather than "horny."

Also included at no extra charge is poor quality control, lack of a good dealer/support/parts network, and automatic "douchebag" status when cruising down the street!

Why? I hate people like that. Just because they drive a certain car they are a ''douchebag''. I know plenty of humble owners that get that stereo-typical crap.

Since he said "F1", I'm assuming he's talking about the high-pitch style engine tone from F1 GP cars.

The old F355s were pretty high pitched with exhaust, the tone started to get deeper with the 360s and now with the 430s.

355,

360s,

430,

I think the Gallardos and V10 M5s sounds pretty close to F1 cars also, and of course there's the CGT.

The V8 in the Maserati in comparison sounds more like an American V8 in comparison.
