A Dodge Viper and a Lexus LFA both use a V10 engine, but a Dodge Viper has a very “deep” sound, but a Lexus LFA has a very high pitched whining sound?
What makes a car like a muscle car like a Mustang or Viper have such a different sound than a car like a Lamborghini or Ferrari when they use the same kinds of engines?
In: Engineering
Engine bore and stroke, firing order, crank shaft design, exhaust design are all contributing factors.
Flat plane cranks give you the Ferrari type sound. Compare a standard C8 Corvette to the ~~ZR1~~ Z06 which has the flat plane crankshaft.
