I went to a few unlimited hydro races when they used the Rolls Royce Merlin engineNothing sounds nicer than the sound of a Ferrari V12....... Ever see the movie "the Gumball Rally:? The sound of the Ferrari Daytona racing through the early morning streets of NY City was great.Thanks for the explanation. ..Straight cut gears in the trans is what you hear. On a combustion powered race car the engine sounds and exhaust mask some of that trans noise. Helical cut gears on a street car = less noise.
I love the exhaust sound of a well tuned combustion race engine going down the straight away at high speed.
Which is something an electric race car could never match. ...
I will disagree with you, a Ford Cosworth at full song sounds even better (yes, it's true) than a Rolls Royce Merlin engine.
quite the sound.
