What's Your Favorite Sound?

For being a 4 door sedan...and all these cutting edge modifications available for use on our cars...of all (that you have on YOUR car) what makes you just grin and say "dayum that sounds awesome!!" ?

-Turbo or SC spooling up
-Intake grrrrrowl
-Exhaust dB at idle or full throttle
-The sweet sound of all 4 tires barking while you take a 80 degree curve at 60 m.p.h.
-Bumpin sound system

other?

mine, for my 3rd gen is the tire barking

Definitely a BOV....nothing can beat that sound IMO
Too bad I'm not boosted, lol

On my car, favorite sounds are intake/exhaust combo or chirping 2nd gear with the auto

My Blitz DD is very disappointing in that regard - way too quiet.

I'd have to say the sound of a prcai was my favorite, I'm kind of disappointed the SC changed the sound of the intake so much.

Nevertheless right now I'm loving that turbine whine at just above idle, and the roar of vast amounts of air being gobbled up at high rpm.

On my car it's my intake growling. But thats because I don't have enough money to turbo. BOV is the best sound.

The sound of the turbo amplified by the opening of the VIAS at 5000 RPM... then the HKS BOV following shortly after.

no, i dont frequently shift manualy, only when i am having fun. i didnt think you could get an N/A auto max, to chirp 2nd. maybe many members can do it, but i thought it was pretty neat.

plus i have a VB mod, so my trans is pretty strong for now. i wonder what i could i do when i turn the resistor mod on. i am afraid to turn it on and shift manualy, at WOT. even at half throttle it shifts super hard when the resistor is switched off

i do have to say i leather farts are the greatest. with cloth it just doesn't echo, you know,

my favorite sound is my rear trunk lid about to fall off from the rattles of my system it sounds like some one is puting a medal pot on my head and smacking it
