If y'all like 'em that's cool... I guess.  |
I thought that the 3 rotor was the loudest. If I remember correctly, I kept confusing the engine sound of the 4 rotor as it approached sounding like a V12. I'm still missing fillings in my teeth from the sound of the 3 rotors! Also remember that big tail pipe that looked like a scorpion's tail to me glowing red and white hot. Without valves in the rotary, the explosions inside the engine were very close to the exhaust.
