+1000000 on a CGT with AWE. Im not very fond of how german (mercedes namely)/american v8's sound. Sounds like any other "muscle" car out there to me... I prefer something super exotic like ferrari's and whatnot. Those make music, not noise.

I think the exhuast sound bad, the video is from close up so it sounds meaner. But from like 10 feet away sounds like ***, at least from the video clips...and it's in a garage to amplify the sound. Not a fan, but that's just me.

And this is what I think the perfect exhaust sounds like:

But damn the Porsche Carrera GT is coming in a close second.

I love how the 08 Altimas now nearly have as much HP as the 04 Z's.

Thanks Nissan.

I dunno about you...but i dont believe Z's sound anything like I-4's. Even with crappy exahusts, Z's dont really make any fart can sounding notes like hte ones youd hear from a honda civic. Vq's make a very unique and distinct sound that isnt like other v6's ive ever heard.

If i had to choose a 4cyl motor for sounds, id probably choose the ones in WRX's. I love the deep rumble
