I knew I should have got a hair cut today. I was rather insulted, to think I'd own a focus.

12 cyl - Ferrari Colombo Type 125 V-12 (250 GTO, 250 TR, etc.) - 6 twin choke Webers.

8 - cyl Cosworth DFV V-8 - THE racing motor.

6 - cyl (tie)
Nissan S20 I-6 (Hakasuka GT-R)
Ferrari Dino V-6 (Lancia Stratos)

4 - cyl
Subaru EJ20T H-4 - Boxer Rumble

Don't care for the sound of V-10s or twins. Haven't heard enough V-16's to comment.

The engine sounds in the movie Bullit were just plain awesome.
( The scene witht the Stang crow hopping after the missed turn wasn`t bad either.

)
To me there is nothing sweeter than the sound of a V twin, either at idle or eating up the ribbon.

I think my next project will be to build a high performance electric vehicle, but to put include a speaker system to make it sound like a Plymouth Road Runner. After all, what good is a high performance vehicle if it doesn't make noise? What are we, up to the level of THX 1138?

3406 Cat 15 liter twin turbo pulling 45 pounds of boost putting 800+ hp to the ground. fuel milage sucks but you should see the faces on the girls who flash you then cant out run ya.

uh... seeker... the original motor in my Healey was an austin 4 cylinder. They didn't go to the six till 57.

rocrat... how do you get 640 hp to breath through a set of cherry bombs?

Any high performance motor sounds kinda cool. Any motor that doesn't sound cool.... can with a little work.

You guys ever hear a 270 GMC punched out to 302 with a wayne twelve port head, isky full race cam (that's what they called em back then) and three dueces?

3 1/2in cb's would do it .

i made 728hp thru 3 inch turbo's years ago ...(427 fe)

nothing like the sound of a big crank pontiac and a tri-power or a rolls griffin.

I'd have to say the sound I love the sound of a good tuned 4 banger.. I'm not talking hon-duh's. I'm talking high powered open wheeled cars.. like Formula Dodges. things like that. They just screeem...

1971 Porsche 917 with its V12...

Still holds the Le Mans record for most laps in the 24 hours.
