Please post your thoughts on the best sounding car

for me it is really not what I thought it would be

the new gulf GTi with a turbo upgrade sounds amazing IMO the turbo spinning up and letting go just sounds great

Mugen Motul Civic, although I've only heard a handful of cars so far...

best ive heard in real life? that would be probably a Ferrari 360 Modena in Giallo Fly Yellow it blew right past me as i was walking down the street. oh yeah and a Testarossa idling

although i love some of the sounds in GT4, they are not too realistic. to start the CSL is great. But a sound i did like very much was the VX220. I had it tuned quite high and i thought it sounded towards(but not quite) like a 360 CS.

Remember, the sound inside a car is totally different from the outside sound - which is where most people are used to hearing it from.

Besides the fact that you are a stationary doppler impacted listener - and in side you are moving with the sound source, you are hearing the result of exhaust and and mechanical first - wind second - inside the car you have mechanical, exhaust, road and finally wind that above certain speeds will cancel the lower tones you enjoy from outside the car.
Also note that the sound changes as you tweak the car.

^^^ I always use the incar view when I drive, no only does it sound better, you also drive better

^^ I am refering to "most people are used to hearing a car" from the outside the cars in real life.. not the game... so when people hear the in-car in-game sounds, it is not what they are expecting.

I would hope that folks around these parts are not playing GT4 in chase-cam arcade mode....

well Idleing at the starting line I like the Viper fully tuned and at WOT actually it is a brutal sound. The EVO VII GT-A sounds really nice fully tuned also. Obviously the Leman Cars sound pretty sweet aswell but not quite the same.

I love the M3 CSL and M3 GTR (road version), they both sound awesome with that metallic/raspy sound

My thoughts might change as I drive more of the other cars

The sounds in GT4 IMO are mostly shit when compared to the real versions, this is the one and only thing that really gets me in GT4.

Best sounding cars are always race cars though, the M3 race car sounds pretty nice

They are not perfect, but IMO they are much better then in GT3

I've never heard a car game that had really good sounds yet
