Best Engine description

Car and Driver description of the 2019 GT3 RS:

"We should mention that from about 8000 to 9000 rpm the engine sounds like a table saw having a debate with an armoire."

Bet that doesn't make it into any Porsche brochures.

I cannot fathom how anything with this description could be in the least bit desirable.

(and you know what they say... whether the saw hits the armoire, or the armoire hits the saw, it's going to be bad for the armoire) :-)

I wonder how they'd describe a cold cranked E92 m3.

No worse than our VQ's sounding like a truck engine.

I had a 2-door 2002 Chevy Blazer with the 4.3L V6 and 5-speed. The first time I took a Z out for a test drive, I immediately thought it sounded an awful lot like that 4.3L!

The VQ IS a truck engine.....that one comes in a 4.0 variety.

A 4.3 Chevy was just an old 350 with the front two cylinders chopped off.
