I get it, not for everyone, but what don't you like about a screaming V-12 @ 12,100 RPM??

While I appreciate the incredible engineering that is in play in that engine I am not a fan of the high pitch of the scream. When I was much younger I was part of a small group (there were 6 of us) that drag raced 2 cars as a hobby. We had a '69 Barracuda with a 383 dual 4bbl and a '72 Charger with a 440 sixpack. I really liked the deep rumble of those v8s. I realize those old engines are incredibly primitive compared to Gordon Murrays beast but the high pitched scream just doesn't appeal to me.
As a side note and an unbelievable coincidence, one of the members of our group was also named Gordon Murray, no relation whatsoever.

I appreciate a good V8 rumble as well.

This is the best sounding V12 ever. Actually the best sounding engine of any configuration ever!

Agreed that does sound amazing, but that is a racecar. The T.50 is a street car. Big difference.
