They could wind out to something like 12k rpm.
Each motor has it's own unique tone and whether or not you care for that tone is up to you.

===========================
Your right if you take all the engines in the world there will be some of every different number of cylinders that will have a good sound to it, however maybe it is just the American cars that sound lame.
I do think that there are many more that sound bad than sound good even if all of them in the world were compared side by side.
Sure beauty is in the ear of the listener, but there is a general consensus that exotic Italian cars have a great/sexy/powerful/exciting sound.

BTW: I think you see a lot more ugly guys with beautiful girls in a Ferrari, than you do great looking guys in a 81 Ford Tempo.
