A few years ago I went along to end of the runway at Heathrow, next to the perimeter fencing, and waited for Concorde to take off. It was quite a sight, seeing it approach head on along the centre line and lift it's nose. As it went overhead, I'm sure I could see the boogers up the captains nose. The noise was something else. It wasn't just in my ears, it was everywhere, I could feel most of my internal organs resonating, and a few reflex muscles were threatening to relax, in an old age pensioner fashion. The vibrating organ experience was quite interesting, but unfortunately not selective, even after a few more visits I was unable to 'train them up'. I still think there was potential there. Maybe if I had stood on a sonically reflective surface. A parabolic one would have been perfect, but what could I have put at the focal point?
I've never had the same aural experience at LM, although the Mazda did have a similar 'stinging inner ear' effect. The Panoz threatened to get the diaphragm going, but never quite made it. Over the last couple of years I reckon some of the 911 GT3's have been the cars that mde me jump most. There was a little bit of bleeding if I remember rightly, but as it wasn't my ears, I think I better leave it there...
