I've never found gear whine very enthralling. :rolleyes:

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).

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.

Fark me that was ear piercing. No thanks.

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you finally have enough horsepower.

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.

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.

Anyhoo.

Quite. I indeed had not researched as much as I thought.
