It looked like a joke to us innocent bystanders...
Then with no warning, they lit off the motor. Holy effin' shit! The sound was so loud it was disorienting and the rapid conversion of oxygen to nitro-burned exhaust literally instantly voided the pit area of any type of breathable atmosphere. We bystanders scattered like ants. I lived to tell the story. Tinnitus is real...
That old Audi tuner car was simply amazing though.

For me personally, loud doesn't necessarily mean it sounds good. I love that LFA sound even though it's not the loudest car here, as it reminds me of my all time favorite sound - the haunting screams of the old F1 V10 motors.... the one where it's almost like screaming echos in the distance that you hear the car approaching before you see it. It doesn't send me scattering.... it gives me goosebumps.
