My Top 10 You Tube Car Clips

By The Merchant

1. A Ferrari F40 and the best sounding Ferrari F50 in the world blasting down the straight at the old French Grand Prix Reims-Gueux circuit? Yes. Please. 

2. There is nothing on God's green earth that sounds quite like the 6.0 liter AMG in the Pagani Zonda R. Sourced from the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Le Mans racer it makes 740 hp and has an Inconel exhaust system. Inconel is the magnesium alloy used by Formula 1 teams for their systems and it is rare and beautiful and notoriously hard to form. But my god does it help make beautiful sounds.

3. One more Zonda for good measure: This Zonda F is being shown off at Pagani's headquarters in San Cesario sul Panaro near Modena, Italy. I'll bet the Ferrari boys' ears perked up because they had to have heard this all the way at their factory.

4. Edo Competition is a tuning company in Germany doing some amazing things with Italian exotics. The sound coming from this Maserati MC12 Corsa is the EXACT same as the fabric of the universe being torn asunder.

5. Go to 1:10 to hear the baddest sounding Corvette on You Tube. 

6. One-time Formula 1 and DTM pilot Christijan Albers wringing the neck out of his Carrera GT equipped with straight pipes.

7. Do you remember that scene is Better Off Dead with John Cusack when he and the french foreign exchange student miraculously restore his 1967 Camaro with an owner's manual, some hand tools and a 30-second montage? The garage door rises as Muddy Waters sings "Childish Man" and then Cusack's beleaguered character Lane Meyer blows the doors off the Korean drag racing brothers. Yeah, this clip is like that only in real life.

8. This video is terrible quality and it's probably from a cell phone camera but the driving is sublime: an unnamed pilot pulls the world's greatest U-turn in a white Ferrari F430. I could once in my life pull something like this off I think I would die and go to heaven.

9. I've always been a mustang fan but this just puts in the mood for something dirty. 

10. Short but good: an incredible sounding Supra driven by a hot girl. To dream, per chance to dream.
