The Audi R8 Playstation '05. It initially sounds like it won't start up!
 
Tommy Kaira ZZ' II

When its trying to turn on it sounds like some old tractor, but then 3 seconds later the load roar of the engine scares me most of the time. Just pure Awesomeness
 
NSX LM Prototype: Sounds pretty powerful
Veyron: My favourite so far
Miura: Short but pretty :)
Countach 25th: Love that "tic" at the beginning
 
Another vote for the 787B. Sounds like it's fueled by the tears of children.

I love that car. :)

Any of the old race cars sound good, the ones with the big, beefy engines.
 
I love the Mercedes SLS AMG Stealth, it is funny because whenever I switch cars, I always wish the engin sound could last longer!!

Great Thread!!! 👍
 
Best sounding: Cobra and Murcielago LP640.
Most pathetic: Tie between the SVT Lightning and VW Thing (Kubelwagen). The SVT wheezes, while the VW sounds like it'll barely start and is generally pathetic.
Most generally awesome: The kart. Sounds like a chainsaw. In a good way.
 
Re Amemiya Asparadrink RX7
Mazda 787B

I love peripheral ports!

Most humorous: The TVR tuscan takes quite a while and makes a noticeable 'knock' when the engine first ignites.
 
I have to say the Minolta, first nothing and then a fantastic sounding race car roar!

Love it to bits. 👍
