What's the worst sounding V8?
First before the pinned comment
a v6 lol
TDI V8
Hellcat
Most V8s made before the 1940s sound pretty bad
A guy in Melbourne Australia got out of a noise pollution fine because Ferrari wrote a letter explaining how the exhaust note is art and art can't be prosecuted
you serious?
can't find any info about it, got any source?
@@nirodim4895 I'm picturing 3 Ferraris one in the pitch of C, one E, and one G making a perfect C major
Going to need a source for that chief
what? really?
"I'm sure Enzo's looking up from hell.."
"What??!?"
LMFAO Pumphrey, you are the absolute best.
“I mean saint enzo”
I fucking died.
*worst
Like the cars that never got rebuilt Enzos down there 👇 in he double hockey sticks 🏒
for sure henry ford watched lil nas x slide down the pole
You can’t really mistake that supercharged Dodge Demon sound with anything else 🔥
soon as i heard that hoe i knew it was a srt😂💯
1st thing that came to mind was a challenger but it sounded more like an old cobra to me idk why
It sounded like a terminator mustang to me.
James: “I’m sure Enzo is looking up from hell..”
Mark: “WHAT!?”
James: “Alright! Saint Enzo is looking down from Heaven”
😭😭😭😭😭 pure comedy every time
James is 100% originally right lol
I fucking busted out laughing at that
just a typical american jealous because an italian car brand is the best brand in the whole wide world
@@godfather95mbs33 What a cringe reply lol, I really hope it was a joke.
@@AspireGMD European car brands are generally better,but despite being driven and his genius enzo was a dick and bougie and not in a good way, so yeah James defo right with his assessment, but the Ford's are also in hell alongside him. Not Shelby tho, he was a dream.
Ah yes, a sound Designer. The hero that no ones knows in every single movie.
Yes!! Also is the guy that can ruin a movie for the people with some notion about engine sounds when they are not related at all to the car/bike being shown in the scene
@@11ditto11 ehem-ehem Fast and Furious 1 with a 2jz in an RX7 and an Eclipse XDDD
I was the 1,000th like 😂
@@11ditto11 fr, the amount of times the Lambo v12 and v10 have been mixed up is crazy
@@hardc0reloonasimp yesss!! For me the sound that makes me go mad is when they show a bike going full throttle while the engine sounds mid rev, Impossible mission or 007 movies they always make such mistakes impossible not to cringe
Need a V10 episode so this man can hear the LFA
Agreed! would like to know how he ranks the LFA, carrera GT, and even BMW V10 against each other
@@ScottNolasco 1. LFA
2. CGT
3. M5
@@ScottNolasco viper v10?
Also just to spice it up like the detroit diesel, Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI
@@tumeh7410 Yes! I was thinking that too
I could tell this guy wasn't a 'total gear head'; but, learned his cars through his love of sound and being a true professional, which is cool and very unique.
90 degree 5.0 is the best sounding V8 ever. Might be because Im American but euro v8s sound like shit
I'm surprised the 4.6 and 5.0 Mustang was not included, I always loved the way those sounded with that deep, echoing rumble. A Ford Flathead V8 speaking though some steelpacks is a great sound as well. But my favorite V8 sound- probably the 427 Chevy big block. The sound that engine makes gives me goosebumps.
I’m sorry but it’s just the rumble that makes the mustang sound bad like it just gives off a bit of annoying and good at the same time but it is decent
Nobody beats a Ferrari v8 (and even V12 if we have to be honest)
“in a movie i worked on called ‘die hard’” what a humble guy man :)
I love James' reaction 😂
not to mention raiders of the lost ark
@@coreydabrowski2249 his reaction was my reaction to be honest
This dude is so charismatic, I can see how he ended up making the sound for so many famous movies
The casual Raiders of the Lost Ark reference blew my mind just as much as it did Pumphrey's
if you look at his face, its like hes tasting the sound, as weird as that sounds.
Also his dedication, like hanging off the side of a moving semi holding the mike in JUST the right place...
Super awesome guest!!! Love his energy, would really enjoy seeing more videos with him
Got a chance to drive a Lc500 and it’s got to be one of the best sounding V8s ever. The rev limiter is amazing to hear.
In school, I knew a guy who could tell you without seeing what car was going to come round the corner by the sound of the engine. He went on to be a rally engineer.
Time to scare him with an electric car 😳
After guessing ferrari corvette ariel atom and the demon and studying engineering I think I'm going in the right direction
tha's pretrty common, actually.
I am actually the same way ask anyone in my school they will point u my way
I can usually do it on motorcycles
he needs to come back. seems like he’s a part of the group and is also very entertaining
Nj
Agreed. Another video for best engine sounds... Not type specific
Very true
So on it
He reminds me of Steve Dulcich lol
Love this! Need more vids like this. Maybe with a panel to compare rankings and see who can guess the vehicles from their sounds.
Mopar took 2 of the top 3, I love it. Would love to see this series done with 4cyl. and 6cyl. engines too.
Fart can engines sound god awful
Hell no. V10 and V12. Hell yes.
This guy just screams not a car guy, but a true sound guy. The way he was describing sound and the feel of it is phenomenal. James seemed like a little kid having a field day too. Good stuff.
Exactly! He explained the sounds so well emotionally, even if they weren’t the most technical, I understood what he meant
He’s some what of a car guy. He can recognizes the difference in between a high reving motor from a low one, and he he can recognize a supercharger
@@basedshaman6183 Oh yeah for sure. I'm saying though he obviously has a liking for cars and knows stuff about them, but sound is his mojo is what I am getting at. Eitherway he's an amazing dude
@@darkcarp8178 Truly he is a good sound person. He knows exactly how to describe it, the Raiders of the Lost Ark got me. I've watched it so many times and I never even noticed the lion noise!
@Hunter Kelley he's not a car guy. He doesn't know the difference between an upshift and a down shift. Thinks Shelby was alive to give his sister in law a gt350.
The one thing that is hardest to give up when buying an electric car.
The instant torque is enough to pull me away
Until someone finds a way to make electric cars sound good without the use of speakers....I really hope it happens
I love cars with big engines, but can appreciate a well enginered ev.. imo everything under 6cyl can just go electric right away, not a big loss.. but lets keep v8,10 and 12 for a bit longer
@@bloodykills7509 and make them in manual but i doubt that will ever happen
@@Pwn3dbyth3n00b ima keep an ev for daily driving, and a V8 or something for the summer weekends
My list would have been a LOT different outside of the Ferrari but this was a cool idea and a fun video to watch It's a shame there wasn't much consistency in the quality of recordings across different models
wanted to skip to ferrari revs at the end, but you guys did that
Okay this expert guy is awesome his sister was friends with Carroll Shelby, he is Italian, he worked on Indiana Jones, he worked on Die hard, and he recognized a car from top gear wow he is awesome
And still remarkably doesn't know anything about cars lol.
@@Ja3cques not knowing much isn't the same as not knowing anything lol
Didn’t Carroll Shelby die before the GT350 came out?
@@Speedster_ELuu86 🤷♂️
@@Speedster_ELuu86 not the original; which I’m assuming he was talking about. I’d bet my mustang that he wasn’t aware of the new s550 version
Dude is just casually name dropping some of the best action movies ever lol
We need more of him!
Damn I cant believe you guys got a guest of this caliber! Very happy for Donut! Awesome video
5am Friday morning I’m watching you guys and realizing if I don’t call into work soon I might lose my job. Love you guys
We all felt a little frustrated when we heard about his sister in law not taking out that Shelby didn't we
@MANOVA C stfu
Amen! That should be a crime! LOL
Carroll Shelby would not be happy to find out that car is being a dust magnet right now, instead of on its track day paces
At least drive it on the weekends for crying out loud 😣
Yep
@@MrDeath3OOO poor beast needs to be let off the leash sometime
“I know Enzo’s looking up at us from hell” brooo I lost it 😂😂😂
spit out my coffee haha nailed it
Timestamp

Dead 💀😂
I mean old man Ferrari was indeed an a***ole
I named my cat Enzo after Enzo
I love this guy. You can tell he wasn’t the biggest “car guy” but knew enough to distinguish the sounds between the engines. A true professional.
Mark has a great job, thanks for inviting him James. Cheers from Canada.
focusing on the conversation❌
thinking about the sound ✅
Hahaha same
Hy
Correction, James: The whine attributed to the supercharger is the sound of air molecules screaming in terror as they enter the supercharger, rather than the air being pushed through the supercharger.
Underrated comment right here lol
Lol
begging for mercy
Or the gilmer/regular belt
It's actually the gears inside the charger crying from strain but whatever
Nice list and video, I just missed from this list the Aston Martin Vantage V8(2005-2017) :D
My favorite V8 sounds are Scania V8 (diesel and huge turbo, oh yeah!) and Koenigsegg Agera. Great episode!
This is the best behaved I've ever seen Pumphrey
forreal
His dad must be proud... oh wait..
the 1st time I wasn't annoyed with him saying the same stuff he always says.
@@LordPrometheous begone
Lol then you should've seen him with Leno
That " Enzo is looking up from hell "had me😂😂😂😂
Don't
Lol 18:59
I mean hell would be a hella cool place if Enzo was in it
He was like “wah wah whaaaat?!”
GN
Ive watched this video multiple times now, very good
As far as my personal favorite v8, it's gotta go to Audi's 4.2l V8. My first major car purchase once I started making some money was a 2009 Audi S5 MTM. Absolutely loved that car from the day I got it and still have it to this day.
That guy is absolutely amazing, what a personality. Please do the V10 and V12 with him.
And just best sounding car so that we can slot the Furai in it.
I'd honestly love an episode where him and James rank movie car sounds.
Zs
LFA ❤️😍❤️😍
This show was so good.
I love how he talks about the movies he did as if no one ever heard of them 😂
”I did this movie back in the day called Raiders Of The Lost Ark” oh Yeah that one movie INDIANA FUCKING JONES
This is just how professionals speak, they don't want to sound pompous or like they are gloating about their achievements. It's more embarrassing to themselves if they assume the other person knows the movie/show/soundtrack etc, and ultimately they are not familiar with it.
@@biggabenne i mean, i think everyone knows movies like Indiana Jones and Die Hard
@@lynpendry I know Indiana Jones but I have never heard of Die Hard
As an audiophile myself, I detect hints of Joe Pesci overall, but especially Scotty Kilmer in Mark's upper rev range, with a tad less growl/ rasp and sub 500 Hz. It truly is exciting! :)
I dont normal rewatch youtube videos like i do a show... But i come back to this video because its so good!!!
I like how many casual movie Ws he dropped in
“I worked on a lil movie called DIE HARD, you heard of it?”
To be fair, to him, it's just another day at the office.
Where a lawyer might mention working on "the johnson account, this guy casually mentions [ Hollywood blockbuster]

the way he talks about the movies he worked, such a nice guy, please bring him back
I really like how he is not speaking as if it is normal to know each movie that he worked on and still explains. That shows to me that he is still on the ground. Such a nice and friendly guy.
Like he didn't expect you know these iconic movies that he worked on. I liked mark mangini as a guest a lot.
This guy is so enjoyable to watch and listen to!!!
Being able to recognize all of these car sounds is an awesome feeling
You know Donut means business when they start having guests of this caliber, awesome guy.
@Umar Farooque qpq
This guys awesome but (yokimashito ) made up. From rocket bunny huge episode
I’ve honestly never heard such a good recording of the Ferrari 458
it sounded like a 488 honestly.
@@sneakworld 488s don't rev that high
@@sneakworld 488 sounds a lot more muffled
Yes, the record quality make part of the evaluation... really good quality
@@sneakworld You don't know the difference between me and my junior huh mate
Now this was a FUN episode. There’s endless exhaust sounds which means endless content that ppl love.
Brilliant, loved hearing the emotion behind the sounds! Auto makers should care more about their sounds.
Hands down one of the best Donut episodes. Mark was a great guest, please have more episodes with him.
Just a good fun episode
Agreed one of my favorites
Yes a series:
Jdm straight 6
F1
Fuggin planes
Idk make it happen
James was right, this guy was over-qualified, but that’s what makes him the perfect person for this
He doesn't know the difference between an upshift and a downshift. Get someone else.
Can this be a series? This guy is actually really cool, I'd love to see him do other engines
Would be great!
I third this
When he played the LFA V10 I was hoping to see his reaction
Add one more
I know not everybody likes them, but I'd be interested in some 4 cylinder engines
So proud I got the amg right best sounding to me especially with custom exhausts
There's a whole lot of charisma packed into this video.
This guy is why every Camry in movies sounds like a 440 six-pack.
Mark was super entertaining! You don't have to know every last fact about cars to have a passion for them. You guys need to make this a series! Bring him back for V10, V12, V6, I6, I4, H6, and anything else!
Whats H6?
@@endritdecani7289 I'm guessing he means flat-6, because an H configuration has 2 crank shafts and 6 cylinders wouldnt make sense

Literally read this as he said that.🤣
Bring him back again!! Let's do V10's and let the LFA win!

The Ferrari recording was so perfectly recorded and laid out that's why it sounded orgasmic. It had a great build up and release, the pacing was perfect.
u can watch it as the r58 speciale with fi exhaust from hathvoor autos
I literally thought it was a race spec engine
I love the sound of the 458

Not only it has beautiful sound, it also beautifully designed, one of my fav supercar ever.
dude this one is the one, congratss
James face when he name drops every amazing movie he's been on is my feeling exactly.
The way Mark describes what he hears is outstandig. He exactly knows what he hears, and is so passionate about it. This has been such an awesome episode!
Mark was AWESOME! Please have him back!
Favorite v8 will always be the amg 6.2 they put in the 07+ c63. Sounds so raw
The recordings played a huge part in the impression of the sounds.
The GT350 was kneecapped by the recordings. That's one of the best sounding american cars of all time.
@@joeleonard9965 Yeah, I thought so, too. Not only did they have a tunnel drown-out a lot of the tones, they barely even revved it out all the way.

@@joshjlmgproductions3313 Agreed, that 8.1k redline sounds amazing.

i have a 70 Maverick ive rebuilt. i run an old school 302 i rebuilt with 4 barrel. the cool part is its a street car and i run long tube open headers. as in NO PIPE or ANYTHING after the header collector. lol its so deep and rumbles like thunder. sounds amazing cruising along hearing every pop and crackle. sounds slightly better and alot deeper then the one around the 14 min mark.
mans got so much energy and the super casual name drops is so chill
"and don't accept shit sound"
truly a man passionate about his craft
Read your comment as he said it. Love when that happens
That was great! I would love to see a v10 and v12 episodes. And then, the Grande finale with all 3.
Great video 👍
I did a film decades ago called " Raiders of the Lost Ark" .... Legendary how subtle he was about it. One of the greatest adventure movies of all time!
“Everybody loves the sound of a roaring V8”
EPA has entered the chat.
ahh the fun police
🤣 thats all bad bro
EPA is too busy releasing mine sludge and toxifying river systems.
Be happy TÜV ist way worse
EPA too busy flying around in their private jets while blaming emissions on cars 😂
It has been 2 years already. We need another video like this
Amazing video! Did you do this with 6 cylinders and 4?
This is one of the best episodes of D list ever.
The casual "I did a film decades ago called Raiders of the Lost Ark..."
THIS speaks to my HEART
The Mclaren P1 v8 is realy nice in my opinion
What a video idea
seriously donut media has one of the most creative members in the entirety of youtube
The guy is just so cool
This was sweet! Mark obviously knows what he's talking about when he's discussing cars, and that he was just casually dropping names of some of the biggest movies of all time that he worked on was hilarious!
I would definitely say that he knows a ton about sound mechanics, but I don't think he know too much about cars however. In my opinion, the f-type and gt350 should have been much higher.
Deadass guy was just like
'oh yeah I did a film called die hard'
That's how you know he's a veteran in the business
@@isaaczman Why? The gt350 doesn't have much going for it. It just sounds muffled and restrained and lifeless, there's no character to it. [Maybe thats because of bad recording quality]
I like the f type's sound a bit better, but its like it's trying too hard to be cool.
The Ferrari had emotion to it, like it wanted to bite you. The 440 was the best IMO. The old v8s leave a great impression on your ears when they drive away from you
@@nic4234 bro what are you talking about?
@@isaaczman the clip they used for the GT350 was terrible compared to others. The guy likes emotion and passion in sound, so if they used a straight piped GT350 sound clip i think it would have been in his top 3
I was guessing these before they were revealed and the only ones I couldn't pick on the sound were the Z06, the old Mopar and the Detroit diesel. Impressed with myself.
We need more dude with every engine and this guy!
I'm a sound designer myself, and watching this was just fantastic. I felt like I'm on a private lesson with a master.

"I'm sorry for being so Italian." First time I've ever heard this uttered.
Came for the V8’s, stayed for this charismatic man!
One of my favorite videos ever
I'd have really loved to have a nice big block chevy in there but that 440 was pretty great too. I used to live next to a guy with a 1968 Plymouth Satellite with a 440 magnum but his was way louder than that recording you had.
