Default What is the greatest sounding car in the world?

The idea for this thread came to mind after a WRX pulled into the car park at work today. It drove along slowly a bit before pulling in and it had one of those massive cannon exhausts droning ever so much, audible from every postcode within a 5 mile radius.

Anyway the girl I was working with said:
"That sounds so good, Subaru's are the best and they sound the best."
I could not believe that was her idea of the best sounding car, idling along it sounded like a $15/hour charter boat putting towards a jetty. When the engine was given anything more it sounded like a vacuum cleaner sucking out the inside of an oil drum.

Then the guy came in and they talked about how amazing attaching an industrial coffee tin to the back of his car sounded. They then went onto say how bad all the V8 Falcon's and Commodore's sounded and how they sound like the engine is falling apart. This guy then said (this is a near perfect quote)
"...yeah I'm in love with the sound it makes (his car), it puts Lambo's and Ferrari's to shame. I drive next to them all the time and it sounds sooooo much better..."
My jaw hit the floor at that point as they proceeded to nod in agreement. I was literally paralysed by stupidity. All knowledge of car and sound went straight down the flusher.

However I could be very wrong, maybe this is the best sounding car now and I'm just completely out of touch.

So I'd like everyone to enlighten me and all else as to what you think is the definitive greatest sounding car. Video files and sound clips are encouraged.
