I approve of your multiplication but an IRL car has one of the worst sounds ever.

There is more to sound quality than meets the eye (ear?) Take an early example of the Ferrari V8, which sounds a little dull and low in pitch. The newer ones sound great and have a much higher pitch, like a 12. They are nothing alike.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that Ferrari now spends quite a bit of time working on the sound of their exhausts, which is something they didn't do in the old days.

One of the most wicked sounds on the planet comes from a Carrera GT.
