I've heard better *ahem...

F50 sounds cooler for some reason however...

Very very impressive!

It's very pleasing... soothing to the ears

On listening carefully (3rd vid esp), i notice there were two dramatic stages of change in the engines composure. 3 stage variable valve system! (VTEC eat your heart out!).

What do you mean?
You can hear the engine swap over to the different stages of engine management (cams + electronics i believe). It grows progressively aggressive!

You'll notice a deep howl (@23-4 secs), and then a sharp scream (@27 secs). So in essence, this beast has 3 ranges of drive whilst Honda's VTEC only allows for 2.

(most noticeable on the third video http://www.midiwall.com/4Runner/pics...oDay_bs_32.avi)

Hope that clears it up
