RV Construction

I don't know about Ferrari "quality" ... but the V12 one I rode passenger in once as the owner went from 7000 RPM-on-up through the gears was a sound almost like no other! I say "almost" because I've heard only one other engine sound that bested that V12's whine ... a recording of the incomparable banshee scream of a BRM V16 at 10,000+ RPM.

P.S. That's why I like our RV's V10 ... cuz it's cylinder count is a wee bit closer to 12 and 16 cylinders than those of a V8, a 6 cylinder, a 5 cylinder, a 4 cylinder, or electric, or whatever other weird type engine that is winding up in today's RVs. ;)

Off topic for sure (oops). Been to the Historic races at Laguna Seca in CA a number of times where the big boys with big bank accounts from around the world take their toys to play. The sound of historic F1 cars from the 60s & 70s with open exhaust is truly amazing. A few hundred cylinders rounding the last turn and then accelerating down the straight at a zillion rpm is a crazy wonderful sound! My bucket list has camping at their trackside CG at the top of the list - expensive and you have to book years in advance tho.

Sometimes I close my eyes in our V10 F250, blip the throttle and think I'm in an F1 car somewhere. Then I open my eyes and realize I'm on the interstate at 65 mph with the TT in tow... :E
