As per the title, what is your favourite sound of a car on tick over and then a few blips of the throttle?

This is mine.

I concur. NO PHer should write 'disected' when they blatantly mean 'dissected'.

In addition, it's 'could have', not 'could of'.

And another... Ok, so there's not much in the way of blipping, but this is hand-cranking a tank yikes

Classic big block Poncho/Mopar or similar running LT's or open headers, high CR and a massive cam. Nothing sounds better.

Tick over and throttle blipping don't really show that engine at its best. this is more like it (once it gets going, from about 45 seconds in).

Except that the one in the video, although it may sound similar to a big block on tickove, it's a 4 rotor wankel with less than 2 ltr capacity and a redline to more than 11000 rpm.

My contribution:
Ok, it's a replica, but a damn good one and the engine note is....cloud9
