Well this thread took an unlikely turn - didn't expect to see cars as a subject of discussion.

Best sound comes from a V12 (I miss my old Lamborghini!), next best from a straight six (sold my MGC but still have a BMW Z4MC), and after that maybe the rather blatting loud but unrefined V8 (though I still own them as well) and then the poor four cylinder (still own three of those - one makes 375 bhp out of a 2.0 - but the sound is always a bit inferior to the others mentioned.

This one (I drive it in summer) sounds decent as well, although a V6)

 

The Hayabusa is a very expensive very neat engine, but there are many lesser modern engines that work well in street cars.

My daily driver has a 2.0 4 cylinder The sound they make isn't as nice, but it puts out 375 bhp and 375 Tq and gets 30 mpg when you keep your right foot out of it. (That is more than stock as I can never restrain myself from 'improving' things.)

And this is the race engine in one of my vintage race cars.

 

It is actually a 1956 MGA under the skin with a GM V6 I transplanted into it and a body by Fiberfab called a Jamaican made in the 1960s..

It is another hobby of mine.
