Re: BMW 320i hill climb
I've never found gear whine very enthralling.

I'm the opposite, I like gear whine.

I like it too. It was the biggest thing when Simbin's GTR came out - it was the first game I'd played that really included gear whine. The sound was so immersive (although I think they over did it).

Re: BMW 320i hill climb
Fair enough then. I guess it does epitomise "racecar" but I find it tiresome driving a car with straight-cut gears, especially on transport stages.

Yeah it'd be different for you because you have a few days of it in your ears, but for us its a novelty. Straight cut gears have always turned me on.

Re: BMW 320i hill climb
made it to 42 seconds haha.
Why was a car with that much pace starting from the back of the grid??
Personally, I like the dog cut gears because of the quickshift - not gear whine.

Re: BMW 320i hill climb
Technically that's two separate things, gear whine comes from straight-cut gears, not dog engagement. You can have a straight-cut synchro box (but why would you want to), or a helical-cut dogbox.petey wrote:Personally, I like the dog cut gears because of the quickshift - not gear whine.
Anyhoo.

Re: BMW 320i hill climb
Quite. I indeed had not researched as much as I thought.
