JimP - are you sure that the 5.4 supercharged lightning motor can't be had?

To clearify why Viper motors sound odd. They have a deliberate primary and secondary balance mismatch at the crankshaft that gives a torque gain over a primarly balanced engine. Most V6's have similar issues and advantages but on a V10 there are more pistons going up and down to help smooth things out. If you pay attention to the various V6's out there you will hear their own distinct sounds too.

AussieMike- Different animals those formula engines are. Not even close.
