never heard a speed 12 rev up but i can imagine that happening. when i say tvr i mean grififth or chimera. try finding one of those, esp in a tunnel! :D hehehehe
 
as a proud owner of a supra and a skyline i got to say that those 2 sound awesome

Youre a lier or an idiot! You say you live in north america but skylines are not available there. they have no steel I-beams in the doors or emissions controls that match american or canadian specs. the drivers on the wrong side for crying out loud. Skyline, yeah, right
 
the import prices would about kill you
I'm going to have to say the Zonda sounds like no other on the game, as a corvette fan im going to say the vette sounds good, vipers, the tickford falcon sounds pretty good too. I know many people havn't given this car much of a chance.

how was that for using grammer since no-one around here can seem to understand me when I don't use it (odd thing is this is the only place where people don't understand me).

One, I am 99% sure he is talking about in game.

Two, Skylines are available in North America. You have to have them imported, and then if you want them legal, you have to bring them up to emissions standards. As for the steering wheel being on the "wrong side", mailmen drive like that just fine, and all you need is a special license which can be easily attained in any state.

I think you need to take some medication and not get so worked up over simple things.
 
Gone through this thread again, and I have this to say:
-Most of the V8s sound exactly the same
-Most of the V6s sound exactly the same as the I4s.
 
And you can't forget that a True dual exhaust V8 sounds just like 2 4cyls, because that's what you're hearing.

If it's V10 or up it'll sound unique, aswell as Rotary, but rotary sounds awful and all the V10's in the game i've heard sound repugnant, so I'll say whichever one's are 12 cyls (including the Escudo)

Yes, a V-8 has two manifolds each going to four cylinders, and an I-4 has one manifold going to four cylinders, but that doesn't mean they sound the same. Are you deaf? Have you ever heard a car?

Does an NSX sound like two Geo Metros? Does a Viper sound like two Fiats? Does a Harley Davidson sound like two chainsaws? I am truly amazed at your ignorance.

Most V-8's have larger displacement, lower compression, run at a lower RPM, and have larger exhaust pipes. That changes the sound completely.

Firing order changes the sound, too. An I-4 always has the #1 and #4 cylinders moving the same direction, and #2 and #3 cylinders moving in the other direction. A 2.0L flat-4 Impreza sounds totally different than a 2.0L I-4 RSX. Even if all other things were equal, the firing order would make a V-8 sound different than an I-4.

Take a 426 Hemi or a 350 Chevy and split it in half.

1 - 2 - 4 - 3 = standard I-4
1 - 3 - 4 - 2 = American I-4
1 - - 2 - 3 4 = V-8 left side
4 2 - 3 - - 1 = V-8 right side

A 426 is 7.0L. Even if you had two 3.5L 4-cylinders, it would be a different sound. A 4-cylinder fires once every 180-degrees, which gives the exhaust a uniform sound. The left side of a V-8 fires, waits 270-degrees, fires, waits 180-degrees, fires, waits 90-degrees, fires, waits 180-degrees, then stars over. The stagger gives each pipe on a V-8 its own rumble.
 
I like the GT40's engine sound the best, normal or race car version. The S2000's is great, too, as well as the 787B. These cars just have great engine noises!
 
Hmm there is probably better sounding out there, but I enjoy the sound of the camaro's engine (I use a black z28, I didn't bother with the SS) at low RPMs.
 
I love the sound of The mustang stock...The Stock Trueno SS version sounds Freakin NICE, The s2000 is also nice, GT40 is nice, The Comaro Race Car, Astra Race Car, And the Vertigo Race Car when your nearing 200mph Just hearing it scream..Damn nice...The 787 is Nice, I like the stock viper better then when u modify it with a racing muffler...The corvette 206 Sounds like Raw Power, the Grand Sport sounds a little more timid but still nice, The c5r Sounds nice too
 
I liked the sound of a fully tuned Demio A-Spec from GT2.

The sound of the Civic Spoon fully tuned is the one that sounds like a bee.
 
so I'll say whichever one's are 12 cyls (including the Escudo)

Last time I checked the Escudo wasn't a V12...looking at the window with the big letters on it it's a V6...;)
 
hey if u guys love Racing games Wit Accurate Sounds...You should try Pro Race Driver...I Love to crank that game up...It has many different names..like toca race driver, To my knowledge all end with "race Driver" but yeah..the game has GREAT car sounds

Yeah, I have that for the PS2 and I just picked it up today for the Computer...it takes 1.4GB of space though, now I only have 250MB left on this little hard drive...:(

Woah, Try www.Pricewatch.com for a Second Hard Drive

If you're going to look for stuff on Pricewatch, you certainly better check ResellerRatings.com before you buy anything from anybody. There are a lot of really horrible places on Pricewatch that have the lowest prices but will take a month to ship, send you the wrong thing, then hang up on you if you call them.

Newegg.com and Hypermicro.com are both very reputable places that have good prices and free shipping on hard drives (although you have to mention StorageReview.com to get free shipping at Hypermicro).

I'm not trying to get this totally off-topic... just had to say be careful of Pricewatch.

But there's definitely no excuse to be out of hard drive space when you can get an 80-gig 7200RPM Western Digital for $72.00 with free shipping.
 
Sorry to take this off topic some more, but it's really hard for me to get a good hardrive mainly because I'm on a laptop, but it's okay now, I have about 1 GB left now (cleaned a bit up) which should last me quite a while.

The Escudo actually has two V6's in it, which would mean that technically, it's about the same as a V12.

A new hard drive can speed up a laptop a lot. I've got an ancient laptop (300 MHz HP Omnibook), and it runs XP great with a new 20G 5400RPM Hitachi drive. Most laptop drives are 4200 RPM. The newer IBM & Toshiba 5400RPM ones are much faster -- not just because they spin 30% faster, but also because they're designed for speed.
