Vintage engine sounds (vroom vroom)

This is the same engine that amouzouris showed us, but in this video the driver 'floors it' after the chicane, rather than slowly cruise around the track, so you get to hear it much better. It would be fantastic if we could have a sound like this - even more for me because, only a couple of years ago, I found the video above and dreamed about F1 engines sounding like this again 8)
Unfortunately most of us here, prefer this

What an incredible sound that makes
This must be what Armageddon would sound like

maybe we can weld two of the new V6's together and get this sound.
