The roar of a big block in a boat on the water. Rather it be a chevy, ford, or chrysler engine, they all sound badass when built with a nasty cam under a load at 6,000 RPM on the water. Nothing comes close except maybe formula offroad.
so many great engine sounds. in no particular order;
a late 60s V12 ferrarri engine at full song. it has a cry like no other engine.
a late 60s V12 jaguar. it has a sound of ripping canvas at full song
most any V8 american engine, especially when supercharged. the best being a 500ci chrysler hemi, supercharged making 10,000hp running on nitro-methane.
not a car engine, but a great sound none the less, the rolls-royce merlin engine in the P51 mustang.
The 6 cyl HONDA CBX motorcycle I had was pretty sweet but I'd have to give top marks to both V-12 Merlins and 28 cyl Pratt & Whitney 4360s coming down the front straight at the Reno Air Races.
You got it, burdell. I was gonna say 4, V-12 1,280 hp Merlin XX's on a Lancaster with paddle props on a low fly by.
I don't know if any of you have had the pleasure of seeing a Lancaster in flight, or nearby on start up or on a taxi way, but it is unbeatable.
