The Brit Merlins are smooth and relativily quiet, where as the Mustang has a 'popping' sound more akin to a Formula 1 car with traction control on full tilt.

Both sound awesome though and get the hairs on the neck standing up.

I would expect that to be more the result of the exhaust layout than anything, and of course the packard probably has a Crane Fireball cam in it --- us yanks can never leave well enough alone
