What do you think is the overall best (or favourite) car with a carburetor, not fuel injection.

Jaguar E-type V12, unrivaled in looks and not too bad on the road either

good man! the 427 is RARE in those cars..i wanna say there was only like 3 made. im not trying to be a smart ass but did you actually mean the 428? that was the engine that most GT500's came with. that was gonna be my pick. either that or 69 boss or 69 mach 1.

Ah, my bad. 428. I mostly just use "427" as the general engine size, as you have so many engine sizes within 2ci of it.
The 427 was indeed a great engine though.

Either a 1970 datsun 510 with minuki(sp?) sidedraft carbs, or a 1970 454 SS chevelle.

Anything from the late 60's with Hemi or 440-6Pack badging.

Imagine an old 60's muscle car, but much "faster", and "modern" sounding.
I'd say imagine a V10 engine that roars like a lion. Of course you have to be familiar with the sound of V10 engines.

I gotta say that the Shelby/AC Cobra Daytona Coupe has one of the best sounding engines i've ever heard. To me it sounds very distinct.

The '70 Chevelle SS definitely. Those were the greatest musclecars in my opinion. :)

I've heard a few Vipers at car shows. The '60s muscle car engines have a much deeper rumble.

Yeah, but the Viper does have that "feel" to their sound.

The 426-Hemi has a "feel" all its own! Especially with open headers.

I have to correct myself the 3.0csl was fuel injected so im going with the ford escorts i love those cars the sound the looks especially the rally version. but i would like to see what a ford perana looks like.
