What are the best engine start up noises?

I'm in for the 69 Camaro.

Its a shame we can only hear them start up. It would be fun to just sit in it and rev the engine from the garage screen.

I agree, I said the same thing in my post, when I switch and hear that engin, I just wish it would go a little longer and even if you cant rev it, it would be nice to listen to it run at idle!!!
 
Im enjoying the Ford GT LM Test Car and it's older brother, Ford GT LM Spec II
Rumbles my subwoofer,"music" to my ears :lol:
 
The muscle cars sound awesome, of course. My favorite is the 69 Camaro Z/28 and the SS version too.

Also, the Dodge Challenger '70 R/T sounds great as well...
 
I recently bought the Takata NSX which sounds pretty mean. The RE-Amenyia (spelled wrong I assume) street car sounds nice on start up as well.

Anything with a backfire and rumble. 👍:drool:
 
I love the Bugatti Veyron start up. Sounds so.. loud. Not to forget the Murcielago SV, sounds awesome! Of course, I am biased lol. Also, the Shelby Cobra is pretty epic too upon start up.
 
787B, by far.

They could've added the white livery as in the car #18. It would be nice to have both. Or the #202 with #55-like livery, only inverted.
Not that they would sound different, the three cars were almost identical.

Pretty sure there was a thread on this before a while back, unless I'm having extreme deja vu... I found a standard Supra JGTC which made a horrific noise, it sounded like it wasn't even working. 787b might be the best I've heard, though. Can't remember many others off the top of my head, oh, except the Speed 12, too.
 
The NSX-R Prototype LM Road Car has a wicked crack as it fires up.

Also good is the sound of the electric fans coming on before the engine turns over on the Jag E-Type
 
I agree with 787B. You can't beat the sound of a rotary idle! Speaking of which, turn up your speakers and check out the video below:

 
Good to see that my threads still alive! Ive recently fallen in love with the Autobacs SuperGT ARTA start up noise...

I have to bump this vid, i watched it 5 times in a row. Amazing until a Skyline (i think) crashes the party.
 
definitely the Citreon GT concept car . it is different to the road and race versions. its like an aliens scream! very different and nothing like the road or the race version even though they look the same.
 
The 787B and the '69 Camaro RM- Two awesome starts that come to mind first. I wasn't expecting that from the Mazda, Holy crap!
