    I suppose its a personal preference, as the only 6 pots i'v heard that sound better than t5 engines are the bmw M straight 6's.

    Turboed 6 pots sound the best with a manual box .but I still say my 940 sounded nice when the turbo started to come in and on full boost very addictive .and it will sound even better soon you will see .

    personnally, i find most turbo'd cars sound the same, thats why the 5 pots are so good as they have a unique sound. For me you can't beat a a nice big V8........preferably supercharged.........or maybe a v10 lol

    Very true but you can tune the exhaust and manifolds to change the sound of a car .mine will sound completely different now with its manifold .

    I do agree Frankie that the t5's sound good, but to me speed is more important than sound. If you get left behind you can only hear the sound of loosing!
