A breakdown of the difference between the raw sounding RB and clinical JZ would be cool too. Though owning an RB I think the rawness came from the terrible factory timing optical encoders, since upgrading that to more accurate kit it sounds much closer to a JZ.
For context, here's what it sounds like: https://youtu.be/MCCYMys6aDw?t=890 (14:50 in case the time link doesn't work.) And from the video embedded at the end of the article: https://youtu.be/zUU0aW3yyMc?t=32 (32 seconds in.) Meanwhile, here's the Ford GT40: https://youtu.be/KJJ0nIbn_Ts?t=120 This is a replica GT40 with a modern Ford 5.0 Coyote V8: https://youtu.be/6g3Ay83JLJE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Modul…

hi, im a professional diesel engine mechanic and can easily explain what youre hearing. Most italian/european sports cars (with the exception of Mercedes in the past 3 years because American customers) have machined their crankshafts as "flatplane" cranks. Flat-plane cranks, no matter what firing order they have, will always alternate from bank to bank. This yields optimum exhaust scavenging and thus doesn't require…
Approximately 10 percent of the U.S. adult population — over 25 million Americans — experience some form of tinnitus. And an even larger percentage is suffering from hearing impairments.
Broken mufflers and loud engines mask the tinnitus sounds and finally they can relax. This is also the reason why they prefer to hang their Freeways in the air, in the middle of the city. And why their cafes are unbearably loud with the sound of refrigerators competing with the loud music.
