Don't get me wrong, I LOVE THE VEYRON!!! every statistic about it is mind blowing it is insane in every way and it sounds VERY tough but i really think its sound is not that unique, its a lot like a deep rumble of a V8 except deeper and more like an earthquake. The Carrera GT on the other hand has such an awesome howl I think i would need tissues if i ever heard one drive by! I cant think of another road car that sounds anything like it, the next closest thing is an F1 car....

i've seen and heard a few GTs now in real life and yes they are nuts. seen 3 or 4 now in tokyo alone!

got a little vid of one coming out of a hall, and into the traffic. even just the driver blipping the throttle as he was edging out sounds mad. then I saw one on gaienhigashi-dori in azabu with the throttle nailed and I nearly wet myself. then as I was going down to the carpark in my friends appartment to borrow my friends car I saw one in the carpark!!! nice place to live. lol

I have to tell you the sound of the Ferrari F430 V8 from the drivers seat of a spider version with the roof down is the most porn sound I've heard. It sounds totally different from inside the car to what they sound when they drive past.

It's the complete opposite of something like the Aston Martin V8 Vantage which sounds the best when it drives past you but is actually quite muted from inside the car.

So having said all this I don't think anyone can say car X sounds the best if all they have done in seen one on TV.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
