Well you can! It'll sound a lot like a 6ltr v8 though (as they do in reality to be honest)

Re: Engine Sound recording.

Most older Ferrari V8s were about 3000cc, max. 8000rpm, american muscle V8s were about 5000-7000cc and max. 5500-6500rpm - I think thats why they sound different.

Re: Engine Sound recording.

The firing order certinaly makes a big difference though, because think of a 458 italia at 6000rpm and a mustang @ 6000rpm, both 4.5L ish V8s, but the ferrari sounds a lot more high pitched.

Re: Engine Sound recording.

I dont know if it has been looked at already but each week Car and Driver does a little game called "Name that exhaust note". I think there are over 100 different cars on there with a couple minute video each. There might be some good sounds that could be used for the game.

We probably wouldn't be able to use them, and we've got our own solution anyway, however thanks for linking that as it looks like it could be fun to browse! :)
