Oh...that sound...
Interesting that the engine is a relatively low rpm engine that nevertheless makes a powerful sound. For me, that's the sound I like from a high performance engine. Some of the exotic high horsepower engines today sound like 10 two cycle chain saw engines all running at the same time.
