The sound of the gates of hell opening, turn up the sound.

Road car. . well currently I can't get away from the sound of a C63/CLK63 Black etc. . .

F1 Medical C63 AMG

As for race cars, Corvette C6R every time.
Agree about the F1 Medical car - watched it following the SLS safety car round between practice sessions etc at Silverstone last year and thought the C63 sounded *way* better!

Hmmm ... non-Automotive sounds. This form of traction has a certain appeal :~

I'm with Demented on the 5-pots; the range of sounds they produce is fantastic. I think this one of an S1 with the PDK 'box has to be my favourite - just listen to the racket it makes disappearing down the valley, umluft chirping in on the overrun biggrin

I tell you what, for me you can't beat the sound of the bottom end going on a car you really hate.

You know, the car with Tax and MOT which you can't justify offloading but are grateful of any excuse to get shot of.

At 1:00 and 1:40 in but worth watching it all for some other lovely noises.

I think theres a lot to be said for actually hearing them in person, but that Mazda on page 1, the Ferrari 355, F40 LM, the TVRs, the BMW M1 and that Vulcan have to be the highlight for me.

An hour of my life well spent smile

Oh, and to the ones saying a Subaru is better than everything, come on now, you need to take your medication! They do sound good, but come on, in this company....

Lotus Exige at Reims. Is that supercharger whine you can hear over the exhaust? Nice exhaust sound though, deeper note than I expected at top of rev range.
