Z4 doesn't get close to the Aston or the Corvette.

Did you watch okayama?
The GT500 cars made all the GT3 cars sound like Teslas, especially the GT-R.
Start from 2:32
Keep in mind Thats from a 2.0L 4 Cylinder Turbo, no way a production based engine could touch that with anywhere near that engine size even if it was N/A(unless of course Rotory).

Even still whether you like it or not the fact remains it is much Louder despite the fact the engine is 1 third the size and muted by a Turbo.
The Aston is only heard properly from behind, the GT500 cars are Screaming from every angle im sure it would be even Louder if you took it down an Empty Eau Rouge Valley as well.

I'm not saying it's quiet, just in comparison. Watching a Super GT race is what made it soo obvious to me. The GT3 cars are much quieter due to the fact they have engines designed to meet decibel limits for Road cars.
Besides I can easily say you haven't heard a GT500 2.0L turbo as I doubt many have here due to the fact it's in Japan.
Im sure once DTM gets the regulations you will see in person.

Like I said I compared them to GT3 cars which race alongside them in the same series, don't exactly need to hear them in person to understand what is louder in the video.
I know the GT3 cars don't have decibel limits, but im saying the engine they use are production based which were originally designed for sound limits, unless someone makes a Race engine to use for road use and then put it in a GT3 car this isn't going to change.
On you hearing them on person, I made that assumption when you went off what they sound on the video and not in person.
Given that there has only been 1 season with these regulations it was a fair assessment.
Sometimes you don't have to be right all the time you know.

I wish it was that easy, but if everyone did do that it would be an easy bet that city hall would be flooded with complaints the day after the event regardless of whether a noise restriction was in place or not.
Don't get me wrong, I would love it if racing didn't have to suffer at the hands of idiots that didn't do their homework before moving. However, that's not how things have played out so now racing has to either adapt or continue losing tracks.

I like to watch my racing without having ear plugs in. *cough*NASCAR*cough*
I think the volume of GT cars is just fine...

GT3 isn't a racing laboratory, it's a Gentleman's club. The cars are sold in a much more complicated version of going to a dealership and purchasing a car off the floor.
Don't think of the cars as homologation workarounds, they should be considered more like a trim on a model line. If the world's Governments weren't so caught up about fuel economy and emissions, the GT likely would have come with the 6.2l, but since those organizations have little in the way of say when it comes to a racing car, they were able to put the engine that car deserves into it's engine bay. Sometimes we can't have our cake and eat it too, and that's going to happen a whole lot more as things go forward.

No current GT3 is properly loud for me. The SLS is probably the loudest of the bunch. The KZ1R used to be like a whisper.
And really, I would like you to find a Civic with a 4 inch exhaust that loud. Or stop typing the very next thing that comes into your head to try win an argument.
It sounds like any 4-banger touring car or rally car with a turbo.

It was great seeing the Lamborghini Huracan race in the Blancpain Endurance Series (minus that brutal green or chartreuse color of those cars, of course). For someone who actually seen an Huracan on the road before, it was awesome seeing those in GT3 racing form. I saw only so much of the race at Monza on CBS Sports Network here in the States. The little introduction I saw for the Monza race talked about how there were 11 manufacturers, over 60 cars, and 180 drivers. If that isn't insanity and diversity, I don't know what is.
I certainly love GT/sportscar/endurance racing. So no doubt I'll be intrigued all season long with the Blancpain Endurance Series.

Oh no, speed limits! Racing is doomed! The world is ending! Knee-jerk reactions! It's the 'Ring, not the cars! GT3 is fine! It was purely a freak accident! Blasphemy! Etc etc.
You can barely notice the difference. This is superb work from the DMSB.
