I can adjust to the V8, but I do love the V10...

I still think nothing can beat the banshee shriek of a full grid of V10s racing into the first corner. Gave me goosebumps at this year's Canadian GP.

I'm really interested to hear what the V8's sound like in person next season. Audio/Video files never really capture the raw sound coming from the engines.

I can think of one... The Ferrari 12cylinder F1 motors. Now there's NOTHING that can compare to the lustful sound of those engines. V10s are a distant second.

Yeah, the old 12 cylinders were probably awesome to hear live, I never got the chance to do so. I was referring to the V10s because I've only heard those in person.

The V8 sounds a little more "throaty" and less "shreiky."

Can't wait to hear the V8's in Indy next year.
