Ohhhh ! Yes !

Landrover M&S rumble springs to mind, but a good noise like a straight cut gearbox is too !

LOL

P.S. Not that loud, just a very special aural experience.

When I first used 888s I thought something was wrong with car. Its because of the very stiff sidewalls. You'd think the smooth "tread" would be quiet but it isn't.
