There ya go Ian.....you and I agree on the small block ford 302...Moffats Mustang and the V12 Jag. There aren't very many production cars you can buy for under 10 that sound as sweet as a V12 Jag.

As a side note....I found a bloke interested in buying my XJ-S today and thankfully it's a mate who wants to do a grounds up resto on it.  It'll be staying almost in the family so I don't mind so much selling it now. Now I can look a bit closer at the 69 Ranchero I've been considering, also small block 302 powered ;D.
'68 Yamaha DT1 enduro, '69 Yamaha 'DT1 from Hell' '69 DT1'Dunger from Hell, '69 Cheney Yamaha 360, 70 Maico 350 (2 off), '68 Hindall Ducati 250, Hindall RT2MX, Hindall YZ250a , Cycle Factory RT2MX flat tracker, Yamaha 1T250J, Maico 250 trials, '71, Boyd and Stellings TM400, Shell OW72,750 Yamaha

A 410 cubic inch sprintcar engine at Eldora speedway in the USA at full noise with no mufflers is pretty hard core.Sitting in the stands with a corrugated iron roof and a licensed bar right behind your left shoulder is prett cool.Your talking 850 hp on dirt .

Only been once but a top fuel dragster at max speed turns into a diesel and the sound is porn, nothing like a Bully single though.

Bring on the evo class at the TBC. Can't wait.
Bultaco Metralla, Matador MK 5, Montadero mk2, El Bandido model 18,plus lots of bits and two Honda XR's 250,350.

Best sound for me, reverse-cone mega on a CCM 500, makes me jizz my pants.

You are a man with great taste my friend....The only thing better than one CCM barking out it's song is a whole heap of them together  8) .....so when are you building your CCM/BSA and getting off those 2 strokes John?

As for cars, the sound of a hotted up holden red 6 with triples and straight cut timing gears in an LJ Torana is pretty damn special. Somehow, the red 6 always sounded different in the Torana....
Arrogance.....A way of life for the those that having nothing further to learn.

V12 Aston Martin winning at Highland Park N.Z. in November sounded special,
not as good a grid full of 500cc 2 strokes,
but whats all that got to do with motorcycles?
