Mostly, I think it depends on what we grew up with. I was a teenager in the
great old and fabled American '50s, when V-8s ruled the road here, and to this
day, to my aging ears, there's not a sweeter, more mellow-sounding piece of
machinery in the world, particularly with the right mufflers. Though, I will
admit, my old TR-6 sounds pretty good, too, but not THAT good.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, vaaarrooooom, and gone!
