+1 - IMO.

Just something about the firing order and an H-pipe V10 maybe? I haven't heard a V10 other than Audi's new R8 that I liked the sound of.

it's the odd amount of cylinders on each bank. Think about it. V6's= crap, V8's=good, V10's=crap, V12's=Good. V6's have 3 cylinders on each bank and V10's have 5 on each. Exhaust setups can only help so much so lessen the problem with a vehicles engine setup. Also when you hear alot of Vipers, especially ones with side pipes you are hearing only half the cylinders at a time when you stand and hear them drive by.

P.S. the only reason the R8 V10's sound good is the exhaust setup and the fact it's made by Lamborghini. The Lambo V10's sound good too but still have a strange exhaust note
