The Ferrari F355 sounds like a Honda Civic!!

[Z-1]

Does anyine agree with me that the Ferrari F355 sounds like a Honda Civic!! which means it sounds stupid :grin: from inside
but outside it totally different sound, even the new F360 doenst sound that good either. I dont know whats wrong with the sound of the V-8 engines of the Ferrari
the Ferrari F355 Berlinetta with FS Racing Exhaust in the BMW Owners Club of Hong Kong sounds really good from outside :smile: but dont know about inside, but i suppose its good as this is a racing exhaust !!
Could the problem with the sound of the V-8 engines from Ferrari be from the stupid thing called catalytic converter or from its internal design or something else?? Does anyone have a clue?

Its about ignition curve and exhaust. I think it has something to do with the bore and stroke. On a 355 the bore is 85.0 mm and the stroke 77.0 mm wich is very different if you looks to other cars. The car also uses 5valves/cylinder wich is 40 on a 3.5l v8. I also heard ferrari using some special rods and pistons on their v8s. Anyway i love the sound its so aggresive.
bore/stroke
M3 87/91
M5 94/89

all i gotta say is you can never beat a porsche for stock sounds. one day i'll get a sound of my 944 reving up and post it up on here.

Shefx, did you hear the sounds and videos of my old F355 Spider. Watch them in the gallery. Sounds really great.

Hi !

According to me the sound of a 355 is really great, if you add a Tubi Style exhaust it will be fantastic, you will feel as Michael Schumacher in his F1. If you have a spider you X the sensation by 2.
The sound of the modena is great but it's too superficial compare to the 355 one even with a great exhaust maybe the 360 Challenge's better.

When Z1 said that the sound of a honda is the same that a 355 it's maybe too much, but it's true that if you have a Honda integra and you put a great exhaust the sound will look like a 355 sound, really ! I know a lot of people will laugh but it's true...

see you

NO WAY!

They are one of the best sounding cars ever.

I love the screaming noise it makes.

As a experience street racer a honda civic has a big difference with the sound of a ferrari F355 My father has a F355 and I have a Modified Honda Civic so its really has a different exhaust sounds. :roll:

I would have to disagree with you.

I never heared a Civic in a thought out manner :grin:
The F 355 in the gallery is really great @RolandK - surely sounds NOT like a Civic.
