I don't understand why people love V8s over everything else. A V8 has an uneven exhaust cycle that sounds very burbly. A V12, on the other hand, has a perfectly smooth exhaust cycle, and sounds lovely.

Harleys are the worst. You basically get that sound by tuning the engine poorly. Your Harley literally sounds slow.

Edit: To put it another way, we associate high pitched exhaust/engine notes with being very fast, that's why people like them.
