Wide Open throttle
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

This might be considered cheating but nothing compares to the Ferrari V12 from the 90's

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!

Think this is a better depiction of the LFA not the sound on the ring.

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.
