I really like this one. In spite of the so-so video quality, it really shows the rough-around-the-edges F40's nature and how much of a beast it is. And of course, the sound... I love the moodiness of the engine, spitting and popping, and if you listen carefully, can hear the turbos spinning up.

LAMBO The Lambo V12 is one of the nicest - here is an old one.

I am also partial to a screaming straight six, if I can't listen to a 12. V8s get tedious - rather like a car audio system that is all bass and no finesse..

That Alfa sounds absolutely fantastic.

That's a new one for my list! That guy who commented on the first video is right. It's pretty nice to hear the intake as well as the exhaust.

Completely off topic for this board, but IHRA mountain motors make me happy.

This. Nothing sounds as good as a SBC over 6K. The V12 aviation motors are next, but I think the prop noise helps...
