    Good call. Can-am cars are badass. Nothing like having an injected big block strapped to your back

    Prat and Whitney wasp in a DC3. Living in Alaska we still use them as bush cargo planes. There's a scheduled Flight three times a week that flies over my work after leaving Wasilla airport, at about 1000 feet at full power. I have an alarm set to go watch.

    In the words of Elwood Blues - "LAND OF THE CHRYSLER 440 CUBIC INCH ENGINE!!!!"

    Pure music from idle to redline. And I'm a GM guy!

    A 33 inch Weslake single at Bonneville. But I'm biased. I love singles! Plus the best view in the world!

    I can listen to aa/fd cars all day long so they are up there on my list. 7.0 ls7's with a cam and exhuast can sound pure evil at wot.

    electromotive 645 series centripetal supercharged ( mech driven asst turbo) , 8-24 cylinders noting says power like one of them at 920 rpm (redline ) I worked on a tug boat that had 2 16-645s 3000 Hp side by side , wide open you couldn't think even with hearing protection on and you could feel it in your chest like a nitro motor , after that a old style Detroit 53-149 series they sound the same , and then a super stock cammed Pontiac , sounds like a pro stocker at idle
     
  24. a couple of cars come to mind for me. Aston Martin v12 engine, and have always loved the sound of that BMW m5 in the movie Ronin

    I think it would be the hopped up 235 with a small cam, all balanced, dual carbies and carbs flowing through lakes pipes....while cruising down the road it sounded just like an old single engine war plane-damn I miss that car!!!
     
  26. Blown & injected 'cammer on alcohol is my favourite. I would love to have heard Sneaky Pete Robinson's or any other 60's nitro 'cammer deal..
     
  27. That sounds sweet- wanna shoot for sumpin' like that w/ my lil' Holden six
