Sounds familiar!

My V6 was otr for weeks while I was becoming a father and replacing crank and cam seals.
Oh that sound when first started was wonderful! Booting it is even better; it sounds so pure and smooth.
And guess what I was driving in the meantime......my wife's 1.8 Focus. It was horrible. The handling wasn't good and the sound when I put my foot down nearly made me sick.

First night I got my V6, I took the induction pipe off from the air box and rev'd it a few times
It sounded so good I almost exploded in my jeans!  :D

V6 for the win!

I know how nice your V6's sound, and im not saying mine really compares, but my inline 6 TD sounds bloody lovely when you rev it :D (but a bag of nails when its idleing ;D)

I love the sound of my 3.2 especialy just on the 3000 rpm mark just as i give it a boot full away from junctions . But i agree with squealey i used to love the roar of my 2.5 td used to taxi it and some regular petrol heads also used to love it . I`d love to taxi the 3.2 for a night and scare the living daylights out of the drunks  ;)

A mate of mine had an 8L Thunderbird which he showed me running just on exhaust manifolds! Suffice to say there were flames coming out from behind the back wheels :D
