Mmm. Because, and I don't know about you guys, but I find a wankel, a turbo boxer four and a screaming VTec all sound exactly the same.



I guess it's largely down to the main noise you hear on boost is the turbo shredding the air.

Off boost though they're all very different. I really like the scoob's burblybrappy note when it's on low revs acclerating.

n/a rotaries sound pretty special unsilenced as does the tickover of very large ported rotaries (sounds like a real racer and very lumpy).

It's quite hard from the driver's seat on mine to separate engine/turbo/induction and wastegate noises when booting it - it's just one big roar.

i noticed that @ Japfest, Evo's, Scoobs etc sounded all the same.
Just a shame all the FTO's where so quiet
some honda's sounded very nice
