Favorite engine sounds?

I like running from not running or not running right.

Cosworth in the house

Ford 351 is always a winner

It's amazing how "relaxed" it sounds at 9000rpms!

People react like Wanderlei Silva just walked into their favorite rough, downtown bar. It's a Hemi.

Every time I watch that video, around :24-:33 I keep thinking "Yanno, I bet I can tune that out so it's not killing the drivetrain..."

Then I go to this video:

Also Kreissig F1 exhaust on a Countach 5000. Youtube that one. Whew!

Remember Panoz's Ford? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U86lf-LRXiE

How's about a Ferrari? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1CWKtWN3k

C6R for those Chevy folks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bor-tA9ir04

That was filmed at the Musclecar Classic show in Minneapolis. I had my '61 Bonneville there, it took second in class.

A million years ago I watched a CP Mustang run at Nationals--pretty sure someone said it has an X-pipe setup. Either way, it sounded like pure sex.

For some reason race Toyota engines always seem to sound really good, rather it be a 4age or 1uz. The crispness is just on pop.Look up a itb formula Atlantic engine and see what I mean.

The Mazda 787B is also frickin awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81zhOQ5PvaE

Lastly, this SCCA Bridgeported 12A RX3 is berkeleying unreal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq52IUB2h2Q

This has always been my favorite...can't beat a vintage Nissan straight 6 breathing through triple carbs. This things SCREAMS around the track! (starting around 1:20)

Yeah that mechanical sound is awesome of that skyline

Any V8 with 180-degree headers:

For me, the McLaren F1 cannot be beaten. Objectively, it's pretty generic for an 60° ITB V12, but that car is one of the biggest influences on my life, and I haven't even seen one in person (yet).

I love it when he blows the doors off the cabbie! Best car soundtrack EVAR!!!

Of those that I have heard live (i.e. not on YouTube, etc.), the Ferrari flat-12 (Testarossa) and Toyota 4AGE are my favorites. Based on YouTube clips, I would have to add Alfa V6 and Volvo 5-cyl turbo to the list.
