The San Remo historic car rally came through out village on Saturday, and alot of the old cars have an awesome rumble tothem.
IMO modern cars are a bit whinny especially Ferrari V*'s.
What you cant beat tho is a Lambo Murcielago in 3rd gear flooring through the tunnels of the autostrada...simply aawesome, especially during the monaco F1 when everyone is out in their supercars.

I can't access Youtube at work but have a look for a video of Ari Vatanen in the Pikes Peak rally.

For me it's a MG6R4 in full anger in a Welsh Forest Valley.

My RS6 V8 with Milltek pipes or my old Scoob with straight through exhaust. Lovely pops an bangs on the overrun.
You can't beat a Ferrari on full chat for raising the hairs on your neck though.

The funny thing with the sound of the lub lub lub of a scoob engine is that the main reason it sounds that way is the unequal length manifold used to get the exhaust across to one side for routing out to the rear, if you listen to one with a proper equal length/tuned manifold it sounds like a normal straight 4 (and gains about 20lbft of torque). If you screw up your manifold design on a normal straight 4 you get the same loss of power and lub lub sound
Always made me chuckle that everyones love of the noise was apparently based on a bad design. If you listen to the proper WRC engines they do not have the same issue.Anything with a large turbo attached sounds great, this one takes the mick a bit and ends with tears!

Stretching a point and combining some of the previous posts,
50 to 100 TVRs of various models in a tunnel is a great sound.
When you get them going in both directions through a tunnel the combined
sound is excellent.Posted 3 years ago # -

Saw (& heard) Agostini on this at Olivers Mount years ago. The hairs on me neck still stand up when I just think about it.

2 stoke scooter, you have to love the sewing machine sound.
But seriously, my 1972 MGB sounds very nice with the 4 cyclider engine and straight pipes. Or my friends old 5l v12 jag again with straight pipes sounded lovely untill he blew the head gasket.

I 2nd the Napier Deltic - pluttery chuffing on the west highland line and Collared doves combine to make the unique sound of home.
I also like my transit TD at 50 mph, it sounds like a fire engine.
