I don't want to know what the engine sounds like sitting still and being revered up or running trough a tunnel.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sounds so good. It motivates my soul. It doesn't sound like any other vehicle I've driven (outside of a select few track cars). What do you think has the best sounding engine at WOT? My vote is my 986, with the 5.2 R8 as a close second.
400 hp 400 cubic inch american V8 with 4 barrel carb, headers and glass packs
WOT - when the Secondaries kick in, it is a very visceral sound
With header-ed exhaust - it is deafening. You can not have a conversation and you can hear it miles away. Kinda Nascar, kinda American Graffiti
That was my first car. You never forget your first
Just stay away from twisties
My favourite sound will always be Porsche flat-6, fullstop
The other sound which I will never forget was from a Mercedes AMG V12 Pacecar at a F-1 Race some years ago here in Germany.
Forget all those F1 engine sounds, just painfull loud crap.
But that V12...YAWDROPPING...it sounded like a low altitude flying ME-109, unbelievable!
A thread like this and 15 posts in nobody has mentioned the 917??? Disgraceful!!!

Granted, I gotta plug my 986, too:

To me that video is worthless. I don't want to know what the engine sounds like sitting still and being revered up or running trough a tunnel. I want to know what it sounds like under load out in the open.
But from this video the car isn't throaty enough for me, to tin sounding to me. Difference in taste I guess. Although in the LaFerrari video I posted it did sound like a baby crying at one spot.

Antilag gives me a Woody! It's not the sexiest sound, but I love the rawness of it. Makes children cry and adults run for cover.
