But it efficiently turns petrol into beautiful awesome noise!!! Its very efficient at that!

Smiles Per Gallon should be a federally mandated CAFE rating. V8's would rock that.

they just keep sounding better the more cylinders you add. You could argue 10 is better than 12 though since they're so distinct. Not sure which I like better.

V16. Sound so awesome.

Such pants wetting sounds.

I've heard rumblings of an engine rule change in 2016 but don't really follow the sport close enough to say if it was a rumor. Definitely not anything big like a cylinder count or aspiration change.

Agree 100%. I went to every Grand Prix that was at Indianapolis. In person the V10 car by far sound the best. It is a sound that is hard to describe unless you hear it in person but the V10's to the V8's is almost like a Big Block to a Small Block. Not to mention the early 2000's car were the fastest there has ever been and they've only gotten slower since then.

I attended all the U.S. Grand Prix when it was in Indianapolis.

I've heard some awesome sounding engines, but nothing compares to the shriek of those V10's coming down the main straight
