What car do you guys think has the best start up sound? (When you go into your garage and select 'Change Car')
 
For street car's my C6 Corvettes and Lamborghini Murcielagos are pretty good.
For race car's the 787B has a really nice one,goes "whump,whump,whump" like a helicopter.
 
787's is great in game but in the real world its serious gnar...sounds like a big ass V-8 2 stroke outboard motor...surging and cackling like a motor that hates to idle- even at 4000 rpm.
For a real treat check out the Youtube of Jonnie Herbert driving it before this years LeMans, he does a full lap and the startup and pit entry are awesome
 
The Subaru WRX Rally Car Prototype is nice.
Others:
Bluebird Rally Car
Miura
Countach
Viper Team Oreca #51/#91
787B
Jaguar E-Type

Most disappointing one: Mclaren F1
 
Jaguar XJ13
Bugatti Veyron
2010 Camaro SS
Corvette C6 ZR1
Alfa Romeo 8C
Lotus Esprit V8
 
The RE Amemiya RX-7 widebody race car (can't remember what it's called, but the yellow one).

Why is it the best? It make me giggle uncontrollably to listen to it.
 
I love the Lancer 1600 Rally Car because it just sounds so broken, but the 787B takes some beating. I heard a few recently that gave me goosebumps but I can't remember for the life of me which cars they were, one may have been the TVR V8S but I may be mistaken, I just know I've been driving one a lot lately.

Speaking of which, I found the video on Youtube of Herbert driving the 787B:

Kind of sent chills down my spine when I heard that beast (man, the sound!!) going around the track again. Such a sweet tribute to a badass car that won 20 years ago. 👍
 
that Mazda Rx7 gt300 race car
dodge acr
sauber c9
there load of others aswell but i dont remember the name of them!
 
Despite being an electric motor, I quite like the GT by Citroen Concept. Sounds a lot like an Alien Ship.
