I love the sound of a nice motor. V8 is best but V6 with a good exhaust comes close second. ;) My missus calls me sad anyway, nothing to do with engine sounds! :'(

Yeah, i do that & agree with most of the aforementioned motors. Don't forget a well tuned a series in a 1293/1340 mini running an LCB manifold, 270 or 285 cam through an RC40 exhaust & a straight cut box. They sound great when they come onto cam, little screamers!! 8-)
    

oh yes, now there's a sound i do remember.....one of the few 4 cylinder engines i like to listen to

Can't beat a TVR ticking over,luv it

was sat next to one a few weeks ago at the lights, window was down, he revved the engine a bit and caught me cocking my ear, so he let rip, now that was a nice sound  :y

Recently returned from hols in France. Went to a sort of revival meeting at the old Rheims circuit.
Everything there including blower Bentleys, Bugattis Ferraris etc etc. but the best sounding & the fastest thing there was a 60's Lister Jaguar.
With the XK engine at full chat echoing of the old concrete grandstands.

i can't argue with you, one of the most individual engine noises i have ever heard, and even today, like you, makes the hair on the back of my neck stand.......

See HERE for this BEAST!!!


"The engine is the same as installed in many fighter and bomber aircraft in the Second World War, such as the Spitfire and Lancaster. etc.  This one was originally fitted in a Boulton-Paul trainer, is of 27 litres capacity and was rated at over 1.000 horse-power."
