I don’t have anything against turbo-charged V6s (used to run a 400HP twin-turbo V6 myself), but there is nothing at all that sounds as good as a well-tuned V8 rumbling.

It doesn’t have to be loud. My car isn’t very loud unless I floor it — which I rarely do, as I don’t like dying or buying $250 worth of tires every month — but it sure does sound sweet at any volume level.

I’ve even got Rose loving big V8s now. Not hard to do, once you drive one.
