the f40 > all anyday. IMO, best sound

Not even a mazda fan, but this is sexy.

Not enough low end grunt on the F40 sound...
I'd bet the BRM is actually faster
600HP @ 12000 RPM
The car weighed 1600LBS wet.

Scary fast with drum brakes ;)

WOW I've never heard something like that before. Where are the exhaust ports?? Bottom? Must be some weird angled V

For me, most 12 cylinders, esp V12s, are the most beautiful sounding cars

I like my V-12s big:

go warthog!!!!! thats awesome even better live!



however the best sound on earth for me was my son's first breath/crying on the warming table.....




sorry guys its just me and my priorities. and the levy family blog really got to me, I pray all is well.

oh and the sound from a b-17 when flying in the belly turret is f-ing bad ass......




the only reason I did not enjoy it more is we were spreading my dad and moms ashes.

It's hard to see, but they come out the top and the bottom. Looking at the rear of a car with one of these, usually you would see 4x exhaust pipes coming out - two above and two below the axles/suspension. This is basically a 4 into 1 header for each cylinder block.

This thing is like two flat-8's piled on top of each-other. I imagine it's a narrow-angle V a lot like VW's VR engines. So you could also look at it as two V8's sharing a crank, with the traditional top of each V8 facing horizontally outward.

Anyway, I think the exhaust ports are under the black strips just inboard of the valve covers. You can see the oil pumps between the intake ports too. What a wild and crazy power plant...

EDIT: Here's a cool view that shows port placement a little better:

Another EDIT: OH MY FOAMING GOAT - it's two flat 8's, literally, with dual crankshafts gear driving a common output shaft. WTF???

That must be amazing. Years ago I was outside and heard a roaring sound. I looked up and it was a B-29. I still question that because I thought there were only 1 or 2 of those flightworthy anymore but it had the round nose and the HUGE tail and it was definitely a B-29. It sounded like a whole team of Harleys passing by in the sky, only awesome. I just stood there for a while and I will never forget that moment as long as I live. To be able to take a ride in something like that, I would probably pass out a few times. :faint:

I was on the flight-line as B-52s did touch-and-go drills. That's some noise right there.

here's one landing to have sample of it.
