    .... best sounding engine ever made, Reg Parnell's V16 BRM Type 15:



    Keep in mind, This is not (NOT) a classical heel 'n toe vehicle. You are freewheeling ex ante apex, double-clutching this vehicle, tagging your downshift, ex post apex. If you want to do it right, this is (e.g., the antithesis of classical momentum drivers, Teo Fabi and John Watson) a fast-in, slow-out vehicle.

    Very touchy. Not a nice car to drive. Testing Tony Rudd's (e.g., *correction: mixing up my Tonys; *Rudd, not Southgate) Type 15, Fangio himself nearly lost it.

    They even put them on the aft end of unlimited hydroplanes back in the day....before the sport was emasculated by jet boats.
