I don't have a sound clip for mine yet, but some guy on nsxprime took a short video of one when it passed him. You can hear the sound near the beginning. Turn it up.

Drove it for the first time tonight. Man, nothing prepared me for the experience. The duratec engine sounds CRAZY. I now know why you guys like it so much.

Over on fordcontour.org, there's a thread started by a guy who's been in the car biz for years, and he said that the closest thing a Duratec reminded him of was the Ferrari Dino V6 engine from the 1960s. He and TH were speculating about what a Duratec would sound like with a Weber carb setup. That would be fuuuuun. I wish more performance cars used this engine.

They spelled it Duratech... is that UK, or a screw-up?
