Being honest, the ZR1 has more power and is faster in a straight line. With suspension adjustments, this thing will be faster than the ACR in GT5, but it will be a lot harder to drive. The ACR Viper is my favourite car to have come from the US :)

No doubt, man. They will make the U.S. championship very fun. And damn, they are going to be so equal that it'll come down to tuning and the driver himself. I HAVE to buy both. No questions asked!

What about the Ford GT? Most out-of-towners praise the Ford GT like no other American car.

I dislike the Ford GT, never really seen its appeal. Although (Going back on topic here) the sound the GT makes is amazing, though not quite as good as the sound from the old GT40... :D
 

Holy **** that is vicious!

I'm still giving the ZR1 the award for the best sounding American production car...


.....Any complaints?
 
Your ears are in for a treat!



After hearing the 560-4 in the CES video, I'm sort of skeptical....I hope they can do justice to this beast, the LP 670-4 SV. Oh baby!

0:47-0:58 is music. Literally.
 
That's the first modern V12 Lambo I've heard where it's still clear that the engine is still the same one that was in the Miura, albeit one that has been updated several times. It sounds just like a Miura without Webers, which, I suppose, it technically is.

That is my favourite GT40 vid of all time, I sometimes just listen to it over and over again! :dopey:

Those things sounded so mean, with the Weslake cylinder heads and "bundle of snakes" exhaust, giving that highly typical snarl of the era. Sounds like it'd rip your head off if you so much as looked at it!!

Don't forget, though, that the car had reason to be before Ford Jr. went on the rampage - its chassis was relatively unchanged from the Lola Mk. VI GT:

If the 70's Celica 1600GT is back, I really hope they get the sound right, since the 2T-G is one of my favorite engines when it comes to how it sounds. I love how raw and mechanical the sound is. How it sounds so much like, well, an engine, a whole mess of metal parts being moved around at great speed by thousands of explosions every minute.



The music that results when Toyota and Yamaha get together and build an engine is amazing. Just look at the LFA
 
Sounds like it's got individual throttle bodies - one cylinder is really dominant in the mix, must be a longitudinally mounted engine. I like the sound of the older cars, too - must be something about old-school cylinder-head design that gives that raw, poppy-ness to the overall sound.
 
As proof that modern, technologically advanced 4 cylinder engines can sound just as savage as the old ones often did, here's my favorite modern 4-pot when it comes to how it sounds: the SR20VE. It's the engine powering the Garaiya, which is a car I'd be surprised if it didn't make an appearance in GT5.



It's nothing special in the low RPM range, but once it gets to about 6000 the Neo-VVL switches cam profiles and unleashes hell.
 
More V12 goodness:

Diablo


Countach


Espada


It seems the reason the Murciélago before sounded so lumpy was because it was recorded from the interior, and the intake noise is more audible.

And that Sentra has an awful exhaust on it... the high-speed cam profile is mental, though! :dopey:
 
You want a V12? Here's a V12! Worked Jag V12s don't sing to you, like an Italian one would. They shout at you while punching you in the face.



If I could, I'd put six Webers on everything I owned, even if it doesn't have an engine.

Total lack of audio insulation and old school engineering perhaps?;)
 
Here's a great engine that, being one that nobody remembers in a car that nobody ever thinks about, will never make it into GT5. But I'm posting it anyway since it's one of the most amazing engines ever produced and one of my favorites: the V8 in the Alfa Montreal.

When Alfa decided to put the Montreal into production, they wanted it to have a V8. The only problem was they didn't actually have a V8 to put in it and they couldn't justify the development costs for an engine to put in a such a low-volume car. They did, though, have a V8 race engine powering the Tipo 33 (and the super rare "I can't believe they're calling this a road car" 33 Stradale). So they did the most awesome thing they could: they modified a race engine for road use. In doing so they created what was, in 1970, one of the most advanced production engines in the world. An extremely compact 2.6 liter, quad cam, dry sump lubricated, fuel injected V8 with a crossplane crank balanced by tungsten alloy counterweights and two spark plugs per cylinder that produced 230 horsepower and weighed a mere 360 pounds.

And it made one of the most amazing noises I have ever heard in my life. It doesn't sound like it's a machine. It sounds like an animal.

 
Montreal is at the same awesomeness level as this legend in my book! I hope they're both in the game and well aurally represented too!:D

p.s. didn't expect such bassy growl(American-ish) out of 2.6 liters though!:)

It's all down to the exhaust pulse spacing - the actual detonation, gas flow and shockwave propagation sounds are all stochastic (i.e., no definite pitch) in nature. Pitch is assigned by our brains, and varies according to the texture of the sound, caused by the pulse spacing. Take the example of a 2009 Yamaha R1, it has a 1000 cc, cross-plane straight four.

Some of you may be scratching your heads, as was I, but they basically "cheat" and use irregular firing intervals in order for the crank to "work". This means that it is analogous to a single bank of a cross-plane V8, hence the bassy tone at "normal" revs - being a low-capacity engine in a lightweight vehicle, it is tuned for high RPMs where the sound takes on a whole new timbre - it sort of passes through the V8 part, then through a V-twin-like region and then into something really quite unique!



The exhaust silencers have been replaced with low-resistance performance items, but the manifold is the same so the pulse spacing is the same as the stock bike.
 
lol it sure sounds V8-ish on the low revs!:D
Regarding the Montreal, I was expecting more of an Italian V8 sound(less growl,more scream,higher revs,less laziness in the engine, which is characteristic to the American V8 in general)...;)

But the V8 in the GT40 vid above is a not-insignificant, 4.7-litre Ford, comparable in displacement to Audi and BMW's latest V8s. It really depends how you tune it. I don't know why you characterise Italian V8s as screamier than American ones, the new 8C certainly sounds thunderous to my ears, and NASCAR cars definitely scream! :dopey:
 
Here's an interesting Italian V8, the one in the Lancia Thema 8.32. It's the quattrovalvole 3 liter out of a Ferrari 308 GTB, only with a crossplane crank instead of a flatplane like most Ferraris. It sounds a bit like a Ferrari V8, but it's still quite different.



The best thing about the Thema 8.32 was is it was essentially a Saab 9000. So it's a Ferrari V8 (that was built by Ducati, interestingly enough) in a front wheel drive car.
