Well, what is it? Stock, modified, doesn't matter. If you can find a video of it, great! post it! My favorites include the Supercharged GM 3800 SII V6, the AMC 4.0L Inline 6, Subaru 2.5 Boxer 4, Chrysler 3.5L V6.

I like the distinctive sound a 90's something Honda starter makes...

I also like the sounds of the old GM V8's. Deep throaty big-boat groan...

Really? It bothers me for some reason...probably because I hear it outside my window every morning.

I like the sound of Ford modular V8s with headers and aftermarket mufflers. Any of the old school American pushrod V8s sound good too.

This clip makes me want to put a new cam in my truck...

Drag cars sound cool, and I get to hear them all the time. I'm five minutes (if that) from Lowe's Motor Speedway and the ZMax drag strip. I'm listening to the NHRA Carolinas Nationals as I type.

I can distinguish a Honda starter from down the street. So classic.

early 2000s to current Mitsubishi fours make a distinct "hollow metallic" sound when they start up. Listen for it next time.

I always liked the 2.8 V6 back in the day, my friend's dad had one in his Pontiac 6000 STE.

But something about the exhaust note of an inline-6 appeals to me the most.
