Oh I'm not pooh-poohing little four bangers, or big four bangers. I've got one
now that will hit 60
mph from a standstill before you can scream "oh S***! True, it is a motorcycle
:-) And I've taken
a little 3 banger up to 160 mph several times. Another motorcycle, I confess.
However, there definately is something to the rumble and feel of a v-8, or a
v-12 for that matter.
My fathers Mustang has a rumble that no Triumph or Lotus is going to match.
And a torque force
that only comes with lots of rotating mass.
I think it appeals on the testosterone level. <g>
