I built a Honda 'Blade powered Westie. Hmmm 4 carbs with a jumbo car sponge as a filter across all 4. A stainless race can. Sequential gearbox. Formula 1 car. Awesome. My scooby did sound nice though.

my scooby, of course.. (prodrive backbox.. love to scare people by either making it scream or bang.. )
Corvette C5R.. (OK, probably won't buy one... )
as someone else said.. Ferrari 430 (Challenge.. even better) with Tubi exhaust..
Ferrari Enzo.. doesn't sound like at car at all, that thing just SCREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAMS!! and when they blip the throttle, it's more like a dog barking VERY loud than an Engine.. has no inertia at all, that thing..
Vanquish.. saw one in Zurich, drove past me.. heard it for the next 3 minutes even though he wasn't pushing it at all..
A friends Jaguar E-Type 4,2..
and many more..

My XR4x4 was bought partly because of it's sound too and the difference between the two is, eleven years later I still own it

I had a less restrictive exhaust on my XR4x4, the sound was awesome - I still miss it........................

My Civic Type-R with AEM Cold Intake Kit.. Just love the Noise when it hits Vtec!
Sounded like some sort of laser blast had gone off at vtec changeover. I miss it
My current e36 323i auto sounds surprisingly good with a Dave.F kit.

My Golf VR6 2.8 - but I "gently" modified it for the right sound!
(RamAir foam "bucket" air filter - the largest available on the market, high lift shrick cams, shrick big valve cylinder head, enlarged throttle body, variable length inlet manifold, Remus full exhaust system, custom chip with rev limit increased to 7,400 rpm@)
It sounded like a TVR up to 4,000rpm (rumbly, deep and throaty induction snort) when the inlet manifold switched to it's "power" phase and opened all the short inlet tracts - when it produced an increasingly loud and strident six cylinder howl as it closed on the rev limiter ......

Sidhead are you for real?! Standard for standard I'd say the S2000 sounds better than a scooby and decat+big can for decat+big can the S2000 is again miles ahead. I've currently got a full decat+HKS on my STI and, whilst nice, its not a patch on the Honda with T1-R single.

Alfasud 1.3 Ti
Alfa 164 QV with a freer breathing exhaust/induction kit
Every Scoob I've ever had, apart from the Forester (company car - had to stay standard)
My current M5 - sounds nice as standard but seriously thinking about going down the H&S route...
