Oh, I do apologize. I though we were talking about something that matters to a car's performance.
Now tell me about the difference that matters from the driver's seat, Jackie Stewart. Where the H-16s (two V8s are better than one) you drove for BRM so much faster for their sound? Were the ferraris of the late '60s good enough to be F1 winners even though their war-whoop V12s sounded so good you'd need to chnage your pants?
What does a "V8" sound like anyway? I've heard whisper-quiet V8s from the '50s, and I own a V8 car that sets off car alarms. Without knowing that the '50s car was a V8 would you argue that only the loud one is a V8, from sound alone? I4s don;t all sound like sewing machines. But whatever, if your argument is sound matters
