This bus sounds strong and muscular with that engine and power

[@General19791]

I love the sound of a Detroit!

[@RedTyphoon]

These were my usual favorites due to the whistles and sounds in the 2000s.

[@Betis91]

This bus is BEAST!

[@ea90744]

lol. i particularly love the way it whistles when its downshifting.

[@nah_144]

Now that sounds extremely powerful

[@MetroLinerXLZ]

Man, this bus sounds like it ate up every bit of 80mph, red lining and all. On Meritor axles to to add to it. And I LOVE IT!! IT'S %(@&%@% ()^ HOT SON!!! DAMN!!!

[@justnekoboywglasses]

I'm missing our DDS50G C40LFs here in NYC :(

[@Betis91]

Dont they have the Allison B400R5 transmission?

[@dodge1515]

@@Betis91 They sure did!!! Both the old and the new ones!

[@ea90744]

@JUANCARLOS2164 - at the time of recording yes. I saw it yesterday on the 753 with the new engine.

Stupid Chicago CTA was so retarded for retired their 1995 D40LFs with this type of engine sound. This sounds way better and fun than their boring ass newer D40LFs from 2006-08 models.

[@ea90744]

# 5471 has been repowered already

[@Betis91]

[@ea90744]

[@thenewflyerbusman7875]

Awesome great MAN Axels

[@ea90744]

LA Metro's C40LFs are Meritor rear axles, not MANs

[@thenewflyerbusman7875]

Wow they sound like Man once the bus really got going

[@thenewflyerbusman7875]

Meritor axels are always on Nabi and Gillig

[@TheCRTman]

Daaamn!

[@victoriousmainmetrolinkkhtf125]

Farewell: that's why LACMTA New Flyer C40LFs are went too far, now, they all retired, scrapped and replaced with Eldorado National BRT CNGs in a decade and couple years later when after they are repainted from white and yellow orange metro bus yellow jacket to orange and silver metro local delivery, but right now, we loved C40LFs, they all no longer here and services anymore, and it'll be missed so much.

[@havenas1020yt]
