Best sounding Porsche engine
Out of curiosity, what do you all think is the best sounding porsche engine. I'm curious to hear the responses and why you are partial to these engines.

This is easy, the sound of the Porsche engine in a car I am driving sounds best to me.

For a road car that mere mortals might drive, I've always thought that a 2.7 with the early header-style exhaust or SSIs sounds pretty good.

Any of the flat 6 cyllinders with headers or backdated heat exchangers sound great. It depends on the muffler how long I could stand it.

the 917/30 - even though turbo charged - it 5000 rpms it will make the hair stand up on the back of your head.
