You know, I can listen to a lot of these and say, "Yes, that sounds good, I like that". But when I hear that GT40, it gives me that funny tingly feeling right about my xiphoid process and I get all giggly and happy inside. It's like it reaches in and directly stimulates the pleasure center in my brain.

The mitsu sounds like a KL with variable valve timing. How soon before someone finds a nasty german six to go with those? A VR6 or BMW inline makes similar happy noises.

And the Saabs, doe anyone make pipes for them like two-stroke bikes have? It looks like they have a regular exhaust system and that must seriously rob it of power.

There was a 2 stroke Saab running a hillclimb that I was working that had expansion pipes. Thing sounded like an F1 car leaving the line.

Hard to describe, but it sounded like it screamed, then after a few gears, when it was headed uphill, the tone increase of the increasing revs stopped.. It was not a very fast car.

So basically, hearing it leave the line, at the lower stations, we got back from the guardrail expecting a flyby by a FAST formula car, only to have this thing go by BWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

That Alfa is just sex as far as I'm concerned, with the GT40 right there in the heat of it.

Might I suggest something in between the 4's, 6's and 8's?

That Mitsu does sound good, but for all that noise it looked like he was only going like 20 mph. And he shifts slower than my grandfather.

Yes.

Well, FTOs weren't exactly performance monsters. Even top of the line performance models only left the factory with about 200 hp.

Here's one going slightly faster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgvcvQACk5Q Still, that motor, paired with itbs and a nice exhaust in something small and cruise worthy = sex. Think it'd fit in a spitfire?
