i will contend that the greatest sounding cars in the history of motor racing were can am cars. if you would like to debate me about this, then you have never witnessed them in person!
I had posted these videos about a year and half ago—but just saw them again today and had to repost them.
race footage from 1967 Road America.
Can-Am and Trans-Am racing were easily THE glory days of american road racing. Will american road racing ever get something as cool as this ever again? doubtful. Look at the style of the public at those races, and look at the lively attendance. As I type this, I am watching the Continental Sports Car Challenge on SpeedTV and thinking it may be the only descendent left of the original Trans-Am series; however there is hardly a crowd there, barely any enthusiasm, and lacking great drivers like the Trans-Am series had. What a shame.
Last year, at the CORONADO FESTIVAL OF SPEED in San Diego, i witnessed the absolute MADNESS of Can Am cars…….the most glorious, wicked, and loud exhausts i have ever heard. My ears were never the same. I got back from that trip and immediately ordered the loudest exhaust i could for my car!
These cars were amazing. CAN AM racing was amazing! WATCH THIS:
