I know a lot of folks like the roar (or whine for the 4 bangers) of high rpm, but I love the feeling of a full size Chevy 350 cruising at 95 mph at low RPM like it is not even breeaking a sweat.

Same. Plus I like a vehicle that will go 300,000 miles easily.

I’m a big block fan myself, had an Olds 455 bored and stroked to 476 c.i. Ported heads, 2 4 barrel carbs, lumpy cam, open headers. It was music to my ears.

This. There's something very soothing about listening to a big V8 purring down the highway.

The 2026 BMW M1000RR makes 214 bhp from 999cc and revs to 15,100 rpm...

There can be several truths at the same time. This is why the I/C engine is almost spiritual in it’s beauty. From locomotives to airplanes, things above the ground and below the water. Probably mans coolest invention.
