Your favourite automotive sound
What's yours?
Mine has to be either a bike engine on full chat, Subaru flat 4 with standard unequal headers or an angle grinder early in the morning

The sound of the wife's car door in 20 minutes time cause that'll mean she can get the tea on
Or any V6/V8 burbling away or a Harley Davidson
OR any mark 1 or 2 henry in the forest in anger now that is pure poetry.

Got to be a V8 on idle with open pipes!
Pure music!
Or a flat 6 boxer engine on full throttle.

Best thing I have heard in ages!!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Alfa 164 V6 (or probably any alfa v6) - you can forgive all the crap build and dodgy electrics!
My buddy Geoff's Scorp Cos V6 after we replaced the intake resonator box with a length of stainless pipe. Amazing!!
Metro 6R4. EVERYONE needs to go to a rallycross event to experience it.
Hmmm bit of a V6 fetish I think. Ok...
Turbos and associated paraphenalia. Especially WRC style chattery/squeaky dump valve noise (as opposed to normal whoosh noise). I really need to
find out what causes that (type of dump valve? No dump valve?) and get one for my installation.
And finally, 50's BRM supercharged V16. OH MY GOD!!! Only heard it on MP3 unfortunately =(

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

piston and diaphram dump valves sound different, piston is a fast whoosh, and diaphrams are more flappy/spluttery
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

my best sounds of recent years...
i had to drop off a SL55 at heathrow airport ready for shipment to the states
nice burble of the 5.5 V8 whilst around town...
followed by the scream of the twin superchargers when you floor it and
then the sound of profanity when you realise how fast your going
 but very

Don't you mean V16?
Personally I love the sound of my V8 Stag. With its unequal length tailpipes you won't find a better V8 'burble'.
Yes, Sit in it at idle at the lights and you are Steve McQueen just about to floor it at the lights in 'Bullit'

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
