The chevy 305 & 350 v8's are the best sounding engine of all time.

That being said, i really like the vortex v6 3500.

Actual engines that sound really good - but aren't big performers:

1) 1965 Jaguar E-Type OVHC in-line 6

2) mid 50's Ford 312 V-8 with glass-packs.

4: Lotus Esprit X180R or Yamaha YZF-R7
6: M3 CSL
8: F430
10: Carrera GT
12: Enzo w/Tubi

Come to think of it though, the exhaust makes a big difference in the overall sound.

4 - Alfa Romeo from the GTV/Spider
6 - Triumph TR6, Alfa Romeo GTV-6

Plenty of other good ones out there. You guys need to get out more. Go check out a vintage car race some time...
