Best sounding cars.
I guess I am not talking exotica with mid engined V12's but cars you see day to day.
On that note I gotta say the RS4 sounds ridiculously good. Throaty, menacing, and that is just at idle.
Any Nissan RB engine with a good exhaust always sounds awesome at high RPM, they just sing.

Any 5,8,10 or 12 cylinder engine I've ever heard
Rover V8 must be one of my favourites
Some flat 4 and flat 6 sound nice, I like most V6s.
In fact, anything except an inline 4!
I have a flat 6 and a V6. They are both quiet on stock exhausts, but I like them. Wife's in line four could be a food mixer, and my Evo was a loud food mixer.

There are too many Scoobs about with Nur Spec type 'zausts which drone about everywhere, just one step up in the food chain from your average chaved DOHC inline 4 with a fart can.

my V8 TT RS6.Sounds fabulous at idle (same as RS4) and it part of the reason i bought one 
Wasnt overly impressed with my Spec C with full RCM system to be honest in the sound department.If we are talking supercar stuff i think the Porsche Carrera GT takes some beating

I still remember a drive in my friends V8 RS6. Stock exhaust, but just awesome sound at any engine speed.
355 is like an opera singer, absolutely fantastic and hysterical at the same time, but all noise and no go.

My Focus ST has a wicked sounding 5 cylinder exhaust note with my Mongoose system.
Not mine in this vid but similar sound.

Someone I know has this system. Sounds better outside than it does inside.

Otherwise possibly the best sound on earth:

Maybe because all STs have twin exhausts?! 
My list:
4 pot
None sound all that great but a CTR pushed hard is not bad.
5 pot
Focus ST/RS is pretty good
uR Quattro Sport
6 pot
Golf R32
E46 BMW M3
TVR Sagaris
8 pot
Any 8 pot AMG Merc
Previous Audi RS6
TVR Griffith
BMW X5 4.8is
10 pot
Carrera GT
E60 M5
12 pot
Almost anything.
