I'm going to have to go with the P-51 Mustang with the engine and unique "whistle" ... just nothing like it and a sound best enjoyed live at an airshow, but this video is just about the next best thing. The unique high-pitched whistle was caused by air passing over the gunports, perfect whistles.

This is a famous Duesenberg, known as the Mormon Meteor. She set some speed records, back in her day. The car is powered by a 32-valve, dual overhead-cam Lycoming straight 8 engine. Lycoming was a famous aircraft engine manufacturer of the era and the Duesenberg engine was a modified aircraft engine. These were the supercars of the '30s.
