    Supercars are the best sounding race cars there are. Period.

    Have you ever witnessed Top Fuel drag racing in the US? Pretty amazing spectacle. Ranks right up there with seeing a space shuttle launch on base! Really hard to explain, the sound travels right through your body. It distorts your vision on the way by.

    Oh yeah...I've been to the US nationals in Indy several times. Top fuel is a full body experience. You feel it with all your senses. See the car, hear and see the noise (blurred vision), smell (and taste) the nitromethane in the air, feel the ground shake.

    There's just something about a 5 liter V8 though. Sweet, sweet music.

    This is a local car my buddy drives. Triple turbo 5.9 with over 150lbs of boost. Sounds like a 747 taking off.

    Australian supercars is my favorite. I always try to at least DVR it.

    It's raukus racing!

    They do so much right stuff, we(USA) could learn a thing or two from!
    E85 included.
