All true, Rick, but a standard 930 doesn’t do any of those things!

Doug, Doug, Doug....

That would depend on whether or not you like the sound of spinning turbos, waste gates whistling and pop-off valves.   When interspersed with the sounds of a sewing machine engine at full tilt boogie and add bit of exhaust....  its a thing of aural beauty.

But my favorite sound of that era... was water cooled.    Audi Quattro S1, Group B - Mikkola at the controls. 

2-1/2 minutes of ANGRY engineering at the hands of a master.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDRkHXMHqFo

 

aaaaahhhhhh.......

 

 

512BB?  The one with 27 (seemingly) Weber carburetors?  If so – I believe it would have had the 930 beat for sound.
