In addition to other tuning, Mercedes make their safety cars much, much louder than a standard roadgoing version.
They do indeed sound beastly, but it's not fair to compare GT5's stock SLS with the F1 safety car.

I agree, though I'll probably play with a wheel (with clutch) mostly.
What is this clutch kick you speak of? A tad off-topic, but I'm intrigued. I tend to do all manner of weird stuff when driving sims that seem to work / affect the car's balance (for better or for "worse") - not sure about this kick, though.
And, yes, the McF1 sounds great when it's going fast, it's got that nice aero' effect going on 👍

Im telling you In person you can hear the sound is there. Cant wait to play this on my surround.
I also got all the cars in the demo Horn sound 👍 I will post them up in a few.

Clutch kick is used by drifters mostly, you declutch, rev it up as you turn in, and drop the clutch back in, and the sudden torque kick breaks the wheels traction. A bit like a mini handbrake lock.
It depends on GT5's physics though
It works in LFS

I've always considered the Diablo SE30 as my greatest aural love affair... but every time I hear that Carrera GT I have to reconsider. Its just........ WOW!

I'm loving that Miura sound when he lifts off the gas pedal but I doubt it will be like that in the game

Oh, that! Yeah, I do that in LFS, too...
I'm pretty sure it works in 5 Prologue, depending on the car and tyres.
I thought it might have been some technique of decoupling the drivetrain on turn in, or something, to avoid lift-off over-steer - but that just sounds dangerous!
Although, I think I used to do it in GPL, (e.g. T1 at Mexico) before I started tweaking the steering ratio and embraced the natural over-steer.
Just for kicks, I went and found this:
Check out that aero noise on the fly-bys! That has to be more than just the tyre noise; I wonder if GT5 will have that...

Good job Slurm, Just destroy my hopes why don'cha! Well, the bar is set for the ideal sound after upgrading with various performance parts. Hopefully a fully upgraded car won't sound "digital".
Wow, the horn on the R8 sounds bizarre!

I know! I had one gently accelerate away from me on the other side of the road a few weeks ago,it sounded just plain big and mean V8!

That sounds really cool!! I don't know if that is what the R8 horn really sounds like but it's like the horns on the police car...
Also that laugh is full of WIN!

Hear all the road/wind noises and what not, that's what we need to fill out the sound
Lovely noises at the start of the 2nd 2nd vid
And also this vid, of a Carrera GT, offcial Porsche footage, sounds like some of the GT5 engine sounds we've heard...
Along with GT5's 'roof cam"

GT needs more wind noise
The only thing to be said there is that the bonnet cam appears to be mounted ahead of the windscreen, which would explain why the winds isn't being screened, and is quite loud.
EDIT:I'm talking about the first vids.

You can clearly hear the low-down thump (a bit better?) there. Still whizzy, but then the one and only American V8 I've ever had the pleasure (
) to work on (a 305 Chevy) used to make a remarkably similar noise from its direct-driven radiator fan. It was an asthmatic thing out of an 80s G20 Van, though...

Yeah, but usually mics don't pic up wind noise very well, even though I can hear it with my own ears, not enough forec/amplitude in the waveform to make the mics work. So this level of wind and road noise is pretty accurate IMO
About the Carerra GT vid. I think when you close mic cars, that's what you end up with. Everyone knows that car has an F1 style howl from outside and nearby. But obviously in the video it doesn't sound like that.
All the cars in GT5 are close mic'ed, which I suspect is why they sound the way the do.
