Ferrari V12 vs. V10 vs. V8
It is very difficult to get good sound on the older cars travelling at full chat!
The Matra V12 and Mazda Rotary sounded very different in their day when driven to the absolute limit by professional racing drivers in competition to what they sound like today on demonstration runs.
The modern engines are very good because of the stratospheric rev limits and perfect firing due to FI and electronic engine management.
Love the sound of the full power gear shifts, not the sporting implications so much, but then you take what you can get!
Perhaps Bernie is right regarding the importance of the sound, what do you reckon?
