I've always thought the Abarth's sound was best described as "a snarling animal ripping a bodice with every press of the pedal."

you may quote me.

From the Ascari A10 review on Top Gear. Clarkson described it as "the sound of men in stovepipe hats furiously smelting."

A Jaguar F-Type exhaust sounds like my stomach after eating dairy. (I'm lactose intolerant.)

I've often seen nice sounding engines described as "ripping canvas" by journalists, but it's never made sense.

I've always thought that the best way to describe the glorious sound made by the 787B is "a banshee being raped by a chainsaw".

On overrun, my dad's C6 sounds exactly like a coffeemaker, or like when you try to suck up the last bits of soda through a straw.

I recently referred to the exhaust note of a Subaru STi as a "lion barfing violently into a metal trash can". My friends absolutely cannot handle me merging onto the highway anymore without chuckling.
