Default V8 vs. V10

http://www.f1racing.net/en/news.php?newsID=104191

Check out the difference in sound between the V8 and V10... honestly, I think its a MAJOR step back. The V8 just doesn't scream as much as the V10

How sad... :cry:

EDIT: Check THIS out: http://paultan.org/wp-content/renault_v10_song.mp3

HOW COOL IS THAT????

There maybe difference in sound, but looks like Honda is trying to prove to everything there might not be as big a difference as anticipated.

Just 1.4 seconds off V10's pace. Now that will give other ppl some thoughts

of course its a major step back--- duh

thats exactly why the FIA made the rule, to slow the cars down...and this in turn makes the teams push the technological limits of engine building. this is how it alway is... they will eventually crawl back up to the pace that we saw in 2004/2005

All i know is i'm happy i was able to hear the V-10's before they changed to the
V-8, and now this year i'll be able to hear the V-8's. But i am annoyed that they keep doing this, soon they'll be running motorcycle engines.

Bullshit, there's not much difference, no more than there was between say a fezza V10 and a merc V10....

I would expect them to be back up to this years pace within 2 years at the most

People, I hope you noticed that I never once mentioned the power difference between the V8 and V10...

I'm talking purely about SOUND

The V8 sure doesnt have the overwhelming howl but it sure does sound good still
Might just be me but what i think the V8 sounds like it is a expiring V10...you know when you're at the track and one the V10 cars is about to blow its engine it sounds all throaty and off pitch compared to the others, thats kind of what it reminded me of

to be honest with you i prefer the sound of the v8.

it sounds more defined. you can hear the individual cylinders better... especially on the downshift and throtle off.

sure, the v10 has the scream and high pitch. but the v8 has a howl and fierceness to it.

kinda like the difference between a muscle car... and a honda civic.





well.

you get it.

Fuck! I've clicked in 'post reply' and the Christmas theme has just popped up!! cool!!

Returning to the topic - I think there're no major differences between both sounds :bah: It's just a matter of get used to it. For instance I didn't like the V10 high-revving sound, since it's too 'computerized', too much Play-Station-ish Give me a V12 sound anytime!!

May be I should pay a visit tomorrow at the Barcelona track to see (and hear!!) how they sound in person

(I won't - I have other things to do this week )

do it.

do it for us.

When I was in Monza the 25th of august, they were all testing the V10's. Only toyota was already testing a V8!

You can clearly hear the difference between a v8 and a v10. 17000 rpm 370 km/h (yes they did drive THAT fast) The v8 makes a nicer sound, but the v10 is just bad for your ears!

I can ashure you the sensation of hearing a f1 car, will be just as awesome as it was with the v10's

I wish if they are going to shrink the displacement of the motors, at least allow another route for power, like re-introducing forced induction or something.

um...
are you a time displaced fellow??

they switched from forced induction to reduce power... now to smaller displacement/fewer cylinders to reduce power... why would they start turbocharging again?

^^I just don't like seeing the cars being slowed down, thats all. I don't want to see in fifty years time everyone driving 50cc engines.
