I just listened to a 935 and 962...
A few years ago I purchased Nick Mason's book "At The Limit" which for those of you that don't know about it is basically a test drive report about some of the finer cars in his collection. The pictures and stories are unbelievable and the cars are amazing: 935, 962, Bugatti, Jaguar, Ferrari, Maserati, etc...
Anyway, I recently came across the same book which was distributed in the UK and titled "Into The Red" however that version came with a CD attached to the inside cover. Thinking that it was some type of Pink Floyd song you can imagine my surprise when I popped the CD in and heard the sounds of each of the cars. For someone stuck in the middle of the winter doldrums this was a quick pick-me up. Man did that 935 and 962 sound good! I actually found myself closing my eyes and imagining that I was behind the wheel. I'd highly recommend either version of the book but especially the one with the CD if you can get it.

A friend of mine in the Silver Sage PCA region sent me a Porsche "Exhaust notes" CD.
It friggin' rocks! I'll sit in our hooch, listening to the GT-1/GT-2 test session at full blast... my team mates just walk by slowly shaking their heads...

I have recorded 4 sounds onto my computer as MP3 files. You can get them here:

Mikkel: Sorry to not post back sooner but I just logged in today for the first time. No, that is not the CD I was referring to but that one looks pretty promising also. I am going to go listen to the links you posted. Thanks.

Porsche Sounds
Interesting. I don't know about the others, but the 935 sound can be found on the Porsche web site
http://www.us.porsche.com/english/unlimited/soundgallery/default.htm That's actually the 935/78 "Baby" which had a displacement of approximately 1.4 liters, built to "take on" BMW in the under-2-liter class (1.4 liters, because of the 1.4 multiplier on the displacement for turbo engines). I love it when the driver stands on it, and just when a mere mortal car would upshift, the 935 winds up for what sounds like another 1000 rpm. That's right, Porsche "took on" BMW- actually built a different engine, and a special 1600 pound lightweight car with aluminum subframes, super-light bodywork, no front oil coolers, etc., just to mess with Munich. A far cry from the Porsche of today, in my opinion.
