Default What certain car sounds pump you up?

For me its:

-Big cams that give a crappy idle
-Loud external fuel pumps
-Running a 2-step rev limiter

And yours?

The thrum of a big-bore air cooled Porsche six.
The symphony of the newer wasserboxers.
The bark of a barely muffled big block.
The aetherial wail of a F355.
The cam shift of VTEC.
The musical sympony of spooling turbos.
The loping idle of big cams.
The desmodromic chorus of a Ducati 996.

I love them all.
