I've heard that CD and I have to second Jim about the BRM V16 - an
unearthly scream. I can only imagine what it must be like in person.
Honorary mention:
- the wail of the F1 Matra V12 that I witnessed at Long Beach in '76.
- an 8-liter Can-Am Chevy (Heavy metal at it's best)
- Ferrari V12 and their distinctive smooth, "ripping canvas" sound
I'm also just a bit partial to my own Honda twim-cam's scream at 10,000+
RPM!
