It sounds raspy like and alot like a cat-less race car. But quieter.
Then I heard my Z with the stock exhaust. It sounds better.

Was it this one?
The owner of that Lamborghini is Jeff (I forget his last name). He owns K's Motorsport there in Humble. I beleive it's a Diablo 6.0

yea, thats the Diablo 6.0 vt. Its pretty much what a supercar is and should be. It is THE most beautiful car in the world IMO and everything about it is very "supercar-ish". Its what a Lamborghini is.

When you take off from a stop sign normally (revving up to max of 4000 only with third gear), then the z sounds absolutely better than lambo (I think this is not opinion), but when you rev higher than 4000, the sound of lambo will take off and the sound of z is no more good (compare to lambo / ferrari). With z you shouldn't rev the engines more than 4000 if your intention is only for listening to the sound. With lambo, starting the engine without touching the gas pedal is just like listening to the lazy snoorlliing sound.

My father has a Murcielago with tubi exhaust and I can tell you that there is nothing else that I have heard that comes close (includes various Ferraris) at all RMPs. Everytime I drive the Lambo, the sounds just sends shrills down my spines.
I just installed a popcharger and high flow cats to my Z and I can say that the sound now is more aggressive and entertaining than stock, but just not in the same league as the Lambo.
The Lambo just sounds immensively (and feel) more powerful and much much louder with the Tubi exhaust. The exhaust note is very sweet and exotic. You can hear the car well before you see it coming. The stock exhaust on the Murcielago was actually quite quiet and the Tubi exhaust is a must (and it adds like 30hps alone).
But I guess exhaust note is more subjective, and I have yet to hear a Z with full exhaust like Greddy or Injen.

Man that sound is so mean, bone chilling and aggressive and there's nothing even come close to that sound.

It looked like it yeah. I mainly saw it from the back. I remember seeing the words lamborghini on the back, but from my recollection, I didn't see a VT badge. Perhaps he debadged it or it was too dark? It had Paper plates too.

The car that I'm comparing the sound to was a DIABLO, not a Murcielago or Gallardo.
I feel like I've been bashed on this entire thread, except for a few of the responses.
