IMHO the sound of a tough 4cyl like the M42 isn't even comparable with the unemotional regular sound of a 6cyl like the M20!
We think the same, my italian friend! I'm not on the track, I'm not racing anyone, so I love the nimble, agile m42 car with its gas mileage and revs! I can hear the race breeding every time I rev over 6000rpm. Get an m42, air intake, chip, and let it scream!
