I might be a bit weird but listening to a race engine start is pretty neat and since I vintage raced my 914 for over 10 years I got to experience some pretty neat startups. My favorites would be:
1 - 917 (Japanese #3) repaired by Symbolic Motor Cars
2 - 917 built by Carl Thompson - from the frame up
3 - McLaren F1 by Symbolic Motor Cars brought over from Japan
4 - UOP Shadow with the engine set for full power.
5 - Ferrari F1 when they had v12 engines
6 - Tommy Thompson's Corvette Grand Sport big block
7 - Silk Cut Jaguar v12 LeMans car.
8 - Vic Loh's 3 rotor Mazada sports racer from Japan which idled at 5000 RPM or so
9 - MY own 2L six the first time we started it after converting to a six
10 - My buddy from high school's 400 Cu In 6 cylinder GMC truck engine in his modified stock car in 1962 which started all this car craziness!
