Just got my May Road & Track in today's mail.  As usual, I turned 
first to read  Peter Egan's musings.  This months piece discusses 
what are desirable sounds for automobiles.  near the end, Peter wrote:

"This naturally got us discussing our all-time favorite exhaust 
notes.  I thought it over and said that mine would have to be my 
first TR-3.  It has a simple muffler and resonator on a single pipe, 
but it put out a resonant, throaty growl unlike anything I have owned 
since.  It hummed deeply on the highway,with a crisp edge produced by 
a touch of throttle."

I have always liked his writing style and now his ear for cars!  :-)
