Here's a couple that come to mind for me:
Back in the late 70s / early 80s, there was an SCCA CSR that was running a 6
cyl.
2 cycle engine that I think was loosely based on a snowmobile motor. There was
also a DSR that had a 4 cyl version. These must have been outlawed as they
seemed to disappear after a couple of years of kicking major butt. The scream
the 6 cyl put out flying down the front straight at Road America was finally
matched for me by a modern F-1 car turning 18,000+ RPM at Indy (my second
candidate - specifically, the McLaren).
Can-am reunion (missed it first time around). Even if you can't hear, you can
FEEL these shake the ground.
Nascar winston cup stocker with flat plane crankshaft at full song. Especially
a
full field of them taking the green flag.
P-51 mustang (been mentioned already, but I certainly second it).
F-15 on full afterburner (especially if you don't expect it to fly by!).
Any unmuffled Ferrari V-12.
