Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Car Sounds - Ahhhhh yesh

[Luke Graves (buyer1]

I actually went to Sebring in '56 and heard all of those mother fuckers!!!  The Astons had the most beautiful sounds, the Monza 860, a 4 banger, was the most brutal (Fangio won in this), The Jags were OK, but, the Maseratti that Villoresi was driving was ear shattering at 12000 rpm!  One could actually feel the vibrations on your skin when he went by!

 

Long time ago.

Sounds of Sebring ('62, '63) records I bought at the Auto Show in Boston as a 5th grader were so influential in fueling my love of sports cars and sports car racing.  Each Ferrari, Aston, Corvette, etc. had a distinctive sound. It was fabulous to hear these cars come to life when all I had was R&T to read about them.

1956, 7 and maybe more – “Sounds of Sebring” on vinyl by Riverside Records.  Not bad, not bad.

Or – 1968 Lemans by Terrific Stuff Videos.  GT40 one lap (I love the acceleration sounds of this one – in car with jabbering done by Sterling Moss) a little more than 4 minutes.  Gurney/Westlake heads on a 289 Indy engine with canted Weber’s.

And then there’s a whole collection of race tracks driving with Derek Bell driving a Porsche 956.  Sweet – a bit quite due to the turbo engine but compared to the GT40 going down the Mulsanne Straight – the roads dotted lines become a blur and the wind shield is a massive bug killer.
