Ditto, the old ‘66 Shelby sounds to me like the whine of straight cut gears, it wasn’t the sound of a turbo. There were both street and competition models of the 427, and while I’m no Shelby expert it’s not crazy to think the street cars have a helical box (no whine) and the competition cars have a straight cut gear box.

Shelby also made “Super Snake” supercharged versions, so it’s also possible the old sound was designed to reflect that.

In any event, the whine of the old soundtrack was proportional to engine speed, as a gearbox or supercharger is. A turbo isn’t like that.
