Man, did you hear that thing roar?

Neither did I. :(

How the fukk do you do a 9 minute video on that thing without at least a few seconds of it running. Bet it sounds sweet.

Well, rack those dudes for a very nice build. Now post a video with it running.

I'm sure I could build a much better sounding engine.

Reminds me of the time I sold my 1979 Pontiac to my older son for $1. It was woefully underpowered by a lame V-6 engine. He went over to the local junkyard and bought a big block Chevy V-8 engine. I rented an engine block hoist and helped him swap engines. He put on dual header exhausts and Hollywood mufflers (if you can call them mufflers). I could hear him coming a block away.
Somehow he never got ticketed for them. I sold the car for him when he went into the AirForce. The guy who bought it eventually put on real mufflers.

Without a doubt, V-8s have the best sound. Inline 6s sound nice. V-6s sound like ass as do V-10s. V-12s are Ok, I guess. Pancake motors (Porshe, Subaru) sound pretty gnarly.

No.

That would be the Ferrari Flat 12.

Ear of the beholder, I guess.

Pretty much anything Italian sounds cool. The Italians, in fact are the only ones I know of that can make a V-6 sound cool. Can't say that I have ever heard a flat 12 so I can't really comment. I suspect it sounds similar to a flat 6.

Another really cool sound, Vee twin ducatis. Fukk Harley and their potato-potato unbalanced POS.

Just went to YT to listen to a few.

Listened to an old flat 12 ferrari race car. It definitely sounds pretty nasty. Then I listened to a 917. I seriously doubt there is anything as nasty sounding as a downshifting 917. Absolutely horrifying, in a good way.

But, I still think a V-8 sounds nicer.

Speaking of sounds, a guy in a Lamborghini passed me today out on College Parkway. Very nice.

Last Saturday returning from the Depot of Home with a couple sheets of 1/2" plywood on the top of an '04 Toyota Sienna Swagger Wagon I pulled next to a nice looking Maserati at a red light. I looked over at the dude and started revving my engine. He looked over and flashed a smarmy grin. I got the jump on him off the line as the light turned green, but alas, he had me by at least one car length as we cleared the intersection.

This sounds decent as well.
