Has the odd high-pitched sound my Viper V10 has.

Default It makes sense to me...

Long before the 4.2 R8 was launched, there was a Phantom Black "demo" given to a few people to try out for a week. As to the side blades, shouldn't make too much of a difference as the intakes for the Gallardo are the same as the V8 R8, so airflow shouldn't be an issue. The white car in the video has the sound note of a V10 - 100% without a doubt. Now whether its for real or creative sound editing I don't know, but highly doubt its the latter.

Default No way...

you can't make a V8 sound like a V10 with an exhaust.

Default What R U smoking?

What R U guys smoking? There is nothing special about the sound of that R8 in the video. Any new after-market exhaust for an existing 4.2L would easily sound that good.

Default I'm not smoking anything...

But I know the difference in sound between a V8 and V10.

Try this...

R8 V8 with and without exhaust

Gallardo V10...

Then go back and listen to the vid posted by Songer.

Default Compare it with YT vids... it's a V8 sound.

It also looks like a V8... If you read it on the Internet it doesn't necessarily mean it's true...

Default LOL.. too funny

And this proves that there is a V12!!!
All everyone is doing, is proving the power of suggestion, and then adding the fact that it was in florida,.. ( at a trailer park home no less. )

I can't tell how many times I've heard people talk about the new Porsche engine and the new BMW supercharger, etc.. from such silly subjective audio experiences.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC8d9oJcly8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC8d9oJcly8</a</li></ul>

Default I nor anyone else here...

said squat about a V12. I drive a 4.2 R8 every day. I also drove a Gallardo everyday for the past year and a half. Sorry if I'm the only one with ears that work to tell the difference between an engine sound. The two are distinctly different even with low quality videos.
