The V8 sounds nice ... I agree with dani - The V12s were the best by far. The V10s were vacuum cleaner sounding by comparison.

Actually seeing the 1995 season on F1 Decade (Speed TV) was a treat because it was the last year where you could here a V12, V8 and a V10 together - by engine note sound alone you could make easily idebntify the cars.

When I saw an F1 race live in 2003 and 2004, I couldn't identify the various top running car makes by listening to the engine note. The only car I could make out was the Minardi - probably because it was revving much lower than the others and sounded more gutteral.
