Sound track is important, but not the only quality an engine should be judged. Weight, oiling at extreme G, power and torque per liter, redline, fuel efficiency, reliability/durability are all important metrics.

Drive a CGT and a new 3RS through a a tunnel at WOT and then make the call. I have a '19 GT3RS. Great car, love the sound of the flat 6 in sport mode. You can buy groceries in that car. Traffic jam, no problem.
But for pure visceral pleasure, give me the stick, V10, and sound track of a CGT.
Oh, the induction noise of four 3-choke Webers on a twin cam V12 Miura ranks up there also.

Which one do we prefer? I think the second, AP is that.
I take what AP says the same way I do horoscopes.
