Yes the flat plane crank is what create that unique Ferrari shriek.

The MP4-12C have a flat plane crank too, but the turbos muffled the shriek.

Yes mostly only Ferraris has the flat plane crank, but a few other road cars has it too, can't remember at the moment.

Holy moly, this "almost" sounds like a stock exhaust LFA, maybe I should be driving one of these, even though I dislike the rest of the car and I hate the SMG, but just for the sounds!! This is the only V10 I can afford right now

It doesn't fit the car but if that's the car he got and he wants the sounds, it make sense

Not everyone can have an exotic V10 or V12 sports car, used S600 is cheap, probably the cheapest V12 car on the used market

This is why I have no love for the porsche. To me, it sounds horrible, like a cheap lawnmower
OK, to be fair, like a bad vw

On the other hand: C GT- diplomatic immunity

Gonna go back and listen them all again with the speakers up

I was going to throw in some NSX, but they didn't meet the requirements

Yes flat-6 Porsche don't sounds good at all, I won't call it horrible, just not good at all. 911 is like the GTR, it is good for one thing only, speed. I guess the 911 got some style too. The GT3 RS is the best sounding one, still not even as sweet as the NSX. Flat boxer don't sounds good, the flat 4 in Subarus sounds horrible, flat 6 in 911 are not good, even the flat 12 in Ferraris are not good sounding motor.

It is the best of the VW, but still not good

C-GT is top 3, if not the best.

Not quite, missed it by just a hair. That's saying a lot for a V6. It is the best sounding V6 for sure. I even listened to the Spoon NSX-R with the Toda 3.5L with ITB, still no cigar, 8 cylinders is a minimum requirement. You can just tell if that motor is a V8, it would shriek. Same with the K20 motor, it sounds sweet, but you can tell it is only half sweet, mate 2 of them together then it would scream like a M3.
