The 1962 Buick Special, fully upgraded, the sound of that car idleing is awwwesome...sounds great.
H.M.BDude, I totally agree with you there, especially about the SLR. As Clarkson said at the time it sounds like a Messershmit After all, they both use supercharged Benz engines!

Yeah, that's what I do to all of the big block V8s when I fool around._kamikazefly_no no NO, dont une it, that car dosnt need anything, i think it sounds horrible tuned, you can hear it whinning, i dont like it like that, ill give you an idea, leave it on standard, turn up your TV volume REEEEEALLY loud and lightly press accelerator, then give it a couple of seconds (enjoy the grumbling) then step on it, youll be like WOOOAAAAH. well thats what i think anyway.
98cobraYeah, that's what I do to all of the big block V8s when I fool around.
👍 Me too._kamikazefly_i live in the uk and abseloutly love it when a classic V8 grumbles by, but we dont get enough of them here, i love my small cars, but i also desperetly wish we had more big block V8, amazing stuff.
Yeah I agree because the muffs on the game ain't the kind like a glass pack all they do is allow quicker air flow so you don't hear as much SOUND so if you keep just the regular muffular it will build up pressure and rumble trying to get out of the muffular.SwissbearI posted this in another thread but it applies here too.
To me all the American V8's sound sorta beefy. That is until you put a racing exhaust on them. That's when they start sounding like a Honda Civic with one of those coffee can tailpipes. PD did a VERY crappy job of making ANY of the American cars sound like they're supposed to with something other than the stock exhaust. The first American pavement pounder that I put a racing exhaust on was the Cougar that you win for whatever it was. I almost rolled on the floor laughing my tush off at the sound that it made. My son had just driven a Honda Accord with a Sport exhaust and neither of us could tell the difference between the Accord with the Sport exhaust and the BIG V8 of the Cougar with a racing exhaust. If you want the rumble of the big beefy American V8's DON'T put a racing exhaust on them. Sad but true.
But to answer your question more directly, the Charger has a nice throaty sound to it. Not sure of any of the older Chevies or Fords. Haven't been able to bring myself to buy any of those yet.
Well, it's the same thing with the Chevys and Fords too. I learned not to buy exaust for the V8s because I know it will sound like its missing 2 cylinders.SwissbearI posted this in another thread but it applies here too.

If only PD could get it right because that car with a racing exaust would sound like the world is coming to an end._kamikazefly_first car i tried it for was the buick special (i needed to tune it for drifting). but i learned my lesson and took it off immediatly.
UniqueWolfSo...All you guys say that the sounds in the game are "lame" ?
Mau4everAny1 knows how the tank-car sounds???
