And I really can't understand why. The new engines probably rev higher and both dump exhaust straight out of the turbo. The old engines where inline 4's or V-6's so that's about the same. So why don't the new engines scream like the old turbos did?
Even the old CART turbo V-8's sounded good.
I guess the new engines don't have traditional waste gates like the old engines which could be part of it. I remember hearing them in 1984 and the sound on gear changes was incredible. You'd have thought the engine was exploding on every shift!
I'll wait til November to make my judgement.
