Completely disagree, they seem to have the same tone/overall volume and flatulence of course. This from my experience driving them back to back on the same days as well. When I was driving the QV, I couldn't quit thinking how much they sounded alike.

Where/when did I say anything negative about the engine aside from sound? I've consistently said I loved the QVs drive/ overall noticeably stronger acceleration pull, obviously the engine has a lot to do with that. |

You like it and don’t think it sounds like an M3/4 along with the majority, great. Neither has more validity than the other when it comes down to a personal like or dislike. People will choose for themselves on the topic. It’s a great car with an awesome engine. |

In person, not even close. Loved my M3, but stock it sounded like a lawnmower. An MPE later, and the Alfa still sounds night and day better. You have to experience it in person, underload, and driven in Race Mode. Though this is a pretty video rich review, the actual exhaust tone doesn’t quite transfer to video.

Somewhat agree about the M3, I never got the lawnmower comments, but it was/is not a pleasant sound. The CP sport exhaust helps, but still not great IMO. I had the MPE on my current ZCP and didn't like that either. I replaced it with a AA midpipe/Remus axle back combo and I can finally say for the first time that I legitimately like how M3/4 sounds. I think you know I had a GT350 before and I loved that sound as did a majority of people. But, even on the GT350 forum some people that it was too raspy or didn't like it. There are some here that love the stock M3/4 sound. They are in the minority and sometimes I am surprised by the opinions, but who are we to say what they should/shouldn't like? It is a very subjective/personal thing. Also, a lot of people said the GT350 had a Ferrari like wail because of the FPC. And some say the QV has the Ferrari like wail, which does make more sense. But, I disagree with both and just don't hear it. |

It’s very unfortunate that most German cars have a very contrived exhaust note, synthetic sound devices, and programmed farty over run sounds tuned into them. The last good sounding German cars were the 6.2L AMGs, E90, 10 Cylinder M5 and Audi R8 V10, otherwise, not exactly inspiring in the sound department. Pity! BTW...the GT350 sounds amazing. Not surprised most traditional Mustang guys would not like it, but the FPC engine really makes that car. Why’d you get rid of yours? Last edited by mcc3456; 10-24-2018 at 07:22 PM.. |

I wish it was built by somebody else besides Ford. Here is a few of the issues I had besides the engines etc. 1/2 of the panels were misaligned on both cars...............and that is barely an exaggeration. The 16 needed to go to the dealers body shop to align the drivers door and fix a hole in the back windshield weather stripping that was leaking onto the rear seat. If you get a GT350 be prepared to check the oil at least twice a week and I’m not kidding. That got old quickly. Any way enough . Fair or not that is part of the reason why I shyed away from the first round of the QV/ARs return to the US. I know BMW isn’t perfect, but the M3/4 have been pretty reliable and I know what I’m getting from them and my dealer etc. |

do you think it is just a matter of an exhaust?

My take on it. Similar tones up through the rev range etc. Shifting, quick tight fart for both. Lift of throttle messy fart crackle pop pop fart. Over all volume and at the highest pitch may be a bit more different, but going through the usual DD ranges not so much IMO. |
