BTW - once the breathing is freed up on the V10, it actually sounds good at high RPMS. Especially in tunnels!
Hmmmm ... I've always wondered what the Ford V10 would sound like if one was to unbridle it similar to that V10 in the Viper. After all, a V10 is only two cylinders away from Ferarri's 12 cylinders and we all know what those sound like at high RPM.
My Class C V10 is nowhere near sounding at high RPM like I wish it sounded. But what it DOES DO is idle very quietly and vibration-free - much quieter than any generator - so I occasionally top up our RV battery bank with it when in the rare no-generator campsite we might find ourselves in. However, we try not to camp in organized campgrounds ... whether full-hookup, generators permitted, or no-generators.
