Best drive through tunnel in GTA?

So was watching Top Gear best roads in the world, and they went through a tunnel and it sounded amazing so anyone know any great tunnels in GTA.

I know we don't have any undersea roads or long tunnels to avoid mountain debris so its tough, only one I can think of is at Hwy 7 and 404.

A short one none the least..you have to hammer it to get on the DVP since the entrance lane is so short.

oh there is an awesome tunnel coming back from downtown going towards lakeshore, right before approaching lake shore, there is a short but really nice tunnel. and the cool thing is that thats where everyone gets off the subway, so if you have like a CAI, exhaust and you gun it... trust me its so nice and it gets ALOT of attention.

i think its this.

Can't believe I didn't get flamed yet......

Guess everyone loves their exhaust tone lol, embarrasing but I think it's one of the main reasons why I got the car.

Anyhow I'll try that tunnel cause I work DT, looks like the tunnels are over the train tracks.

Theres one at the Yorkdale Mall exit towards the highway, it's very short but people getting off the subway will definately notice you lol

Or just do it in empty underground parking lots or sealed multi-leveled parking structures. Good way to run through first gear and hear the exhaust tone at its best. Not as good as the tunnels due to pillars and bigger area, but certainly does the job for me.

come to montreal, some great sound in the ville-marie tunnel, (nice and long too, about 5 lanes wide at it's mouth), there's a few smaller ones about the island too, there's one under the seaway, but i've never taken it.

off island there's the tunnel under the canal at beauhaurnois (cool, 'cause you also drive past a hydro dam, not cool because there's a lot of cops around there for some reason).

just every time i take the ville-marie, i realize i need a better sounding exhaust on the G, my old vic on duals was probably the best sounding car i've heard in that tunnel.

I come from the East side to work, so I almost never use that tunnel. I guess I am taking the long way around to get to work tomorrow.. hehehe.
