Hate to burst everyone's bubble, but hands down, bar none, the P-51 has the sweetest sound of all.  NOTHING sounds like a mustang, either in the air or on the ground.

(Never have been able to figure that out, the RR merlin engine was in a number of different aircraft but none of them sound like the Mustang)

It is interesting to see how fast the A6M5 seems in that video.  A bit slower than the Spitfire in the other video and the P-51s I have seen in reality, but still markedly faster than normal prop jobs.

Definately a fighter.


:lol  to the people who think a 1200hp engine sounds like a lawnmore or leaf blower.

The last flying Mossie crashed in July, 1996, killing both people onboard. :(

That video you linked is a Spit XVIII with a Griffon engine.  I think a Griffon 65 like in the Mk XIV.
