Ford GT, may go down in history as the worse sounding race car ever...more like a really rapid cow flatulence "Eco-Boost"...although Ford brought no less than FOUR GTs, to Porsche's two RSRs, and Chevrolet's two Corvettes... Hmmmmm....Why not eight, or ten...ha!!!!

Dang, you're right...but worse!!! Ha!!!

I know the sound of an exhaust has nothing to do with winning a race, but man!!! The Ford's Eco-Boost Twin-Turbo Six almost sounds like a V8 with a broken header and the engine's tune is way off because of it, just nasty. Fail.
The Audi's and Lambos with their high pitch do sound nice, and the Corvettes sound like the Gates of Hell have just opened up with Deep Thunder!!! The Mercedes AMGs and BMers are forgettable. And the RSRs, well to me...sound like the classic Porsche Six...very Porsche very pronounced. IMHO JB
