An overall lack of traction is what makes rally cars sound so great. In low-speed corners, drivers compensate for less grip by applying more throttle, and in pretty much any rally car—Porsche 911 to Lancia Stratos—the resulting noise is quickly addicting.

“It’s a car enthusiast’s collection, right,” says John Campion. “I don’t have cars because I want to impress anybody.
