Default Best Sounding cars

Just wondering what people reckon are the best sounding cars? here's a few:

Ferrari 360
Most TVR's
Honda ITR high revving beast
Renault 5 GT Turbo (with side exit)
Scoobies nice flat 4 burblle
Alfa Romeo's with a 6 cylinder
Porker GT3

There are others but thats all I can think of from the top off my head!!

I went in a 964 rs a while back with a cup exhaust, and as the car has the sound deadening removed I can tell you it was pretty "goose pimply" moment!

anything with a boxer engine.

once watched a Ferrari 360 pull out of a tesco's in gateshead - closely followed by a morris minor which sounded meatier than the prancing horse! there was a scooby sti in the car park too, which was just on another level to the 360.

best sounding car though, for me, was the wrx sti that was top gear - i'd never have my stereo switched on with an exhaust note like that.

Unless you live near some bushes, you have nothing to worry about...BTW, an appropriate place to dwell if you want to remain hidden from the Chavsters who go around slaying Boxsters
