Following the earlier thread about the new Porsche Boxter and the fake sounds it makes on the overun.

What standard cars naturally make that popping, crackling sound when you drive them hard?

I know the Ford Racing Puma makes a nice crackle on the overun, what other cars do?

I think the R53 Mini Cooper S did that. The later turbocharged ones did not.
