AMG GT S and M4 revs in same clip.

fortressmaximus · 03-16-2015, 08:37 PM

The GT S sounds strange to me. Looks pretty good.

I prefer the M4 hands down as a car overall.

To each their own.

All you have to do is watch the reaction of the spectators.

GrussGott · 03-16-2015, 09:04 PM

yup. We all hear different stuff, and sometimes our babies only sound good to us ...

IMO, that AMG sounds spectacular.

Yeah, maybe that youtube audio isn't that great for my ears. I'd have to hear it in person.

Yes, it does, and it sounds like a V8

M4 sounds like an I6 (like it should) and also sounds great.

Different motors, different sounds, but for what each is, i think they both sound fine.

A bit like Myzmak said, they both sound fine for what they are, so let's just say that inline 6cyls sound shitty compared to V8s!!

Listen to this

Buddy Revell · 03-16-2015, 09:32 PM

Why does the AMG sound like that at the end of each rev?

amanuuh · 03-16-2015, 09:39 PM

i know BMW owners are going to be bias towards their cars but saying the M4 sounds better than the GTS is crazy lol

That's exactly what I thought sounded strange. Strange sounding pops. Almost like amplified stun gun pops.

Tuned to make overrun pops. Adds drama. Jag, porsche does same thing.

Yeah, the F type which I drove for a while did pops after revs but sounded way different from that clip I posted of the GTS. The M4 does it in low gears (1st or second based on what I've seen) but the pops are much lower volume than the F type or the GTS.

LOL op is on fanboy crack.

It has nothing to do with fanboyism. I simply thought the GTS pops sounded strange in that clip. Each person has their opinion on what they like. What's good to your ears may not be as great sounding to others.

That being said, I'd really have to hear it in person to make a final assessment.

gtman · 03-16-2015, 10:44 PM

The GT-S wins in the sound department

I agree, fortressmaximus. I don't like the GTS's pops. This sounds way better imo:

That sounds outstanding and is more my style. Sounds clean and mean. Gotta love Porsche.

hellrotm · 03-16-2015, 11:25 PM

Put an aftermarket exhaust on the M4 and GT-S. The AMG will make the little tt6 wet its pants.

Bringing normally aspirated engines into this discussion is rather silly.

They will always sound better than a turbo engine.
