I've never understood why people think scoobs sound good tbh. They're just loud, tuneless and drone on and on. The only 4 cyl engines that sound 'ok' are high reving Honda's occaisionally and even they're quite irritating when you're driving them for any amount of time.

Scoob is better at low revs for sound, Vtec better at high revs.

I had a full decat scoobysport exhaust on a classic turbo and i thought it sounded great until i came across TVRs and ferraris.
compared to them the scoob sounded like a fart in a dustbin.
cheap car, wannabe sounds!

Looks like the car is too fast for him or he's just a poor driver?!! Interesting to see how quickly he went past various Porsches though ... Also glad to see that he didn't answer his mobile when it rang

In an ideal world you'd get the low speed dugga-dugga of the Scooby and the high speed Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar of the S2000 or you could just buy an FXX

That car is an animal! 
It does sound good, but then so does a Scoob in its own way too. I also love the sound of the flat 6 in the C4S (with the sports exhaust) that I drove last week and the V8 in the F430 that I drove a few months ago and the V12 AMG in the Zonda that Horacio Pagani loved to make scream when he took me out for test drive in September (makes your spine tingle). I also love the sound of an Elise fitted with a Larini exhaust system. It doesn't have to be exotic and expensive to sound good. Which one sounded best? They all did - who cares? If it gives the car character and makes you laugh or makes you wind down the windows going through a tunnel, just for the hell of listening to the engine note then that's all that matters.
