Most options here are from motorsports as they arent constricted to sound proofing their exhausts to stay within noise pollution levels. If any of these 5 options dont float your boat then choose other and name and, if possible, post a clip of the sound.

bastardised a bit by the music at the start but the whine of that supercharger is like no other sound
 
Can't find a youtube to do it justice, but 42 NASCAR's being given the green flag at Bristol Motor Speedway!!

Deafening!? Much!?

Bogety-bogety-bogety-let's-go-racing-boys-yeah!

Yee-Haw!!!!!!
 
anybody have on tape, the "Matra-Simca" of a few decades ago..???
What a lovely sweet sound...you can hear it in a pack of cars, 4 corners away...MMMmmm-good..!
 
What about the newer GTE ZR1 C6R Corvette they use for the ALMS? Sounds even better than the old GT1 C6.R.
