Note - could people mention with their link if the engine noise is either going to be drowned out by crap music or emanating from some oil burning tractor engine. Ta.

I love sixes (especially straight ones). Great thread dinkel thumbup

This clip may also belong on the Fantastic Motorsport Vids thread, but hey - it's Mike Hawthorn driving a D-Type with commentary so what's not to like? Especially, "...they've made Dunlop corner much safer. We can drive this corner flat out now" hehe

One of the best has to be the Ferrari designed and Fiat / Ferrari built Dino V6, both in all alloy 2 litre and iron block 2.4 litre form . . . . . . . and of course the tweaked versions used in the Lancia Stratos smile

For me its I6>VR6>V6. Lots of relatively tame sounding V6 petrol engines, very few tame sounding I6 petrols and some truly awesome ones (i.e CSL). VR6 motor sits right in the middle somewhere.
