The MYSTERY CAR - DB7 or not DB7? (HELP NEEDED!)

[Doctor G.]

I made a sound mod for the DB7 based on this audio (found on a cd.. Well I only have some wav conversions I don't own the original cd and I'd like to know what cd it is exactly, if someone has a clue...) :

 

 

But someone who knows about engines (not like me!) told me that it wasn't a DB7 sound (read the youtube comments) so I'm pretty embarassed. What do you think? I made a nice sound mod with it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6yLWN-33cQ) and in case of a release I'd like to know on what car to use it. Thanks for help.

after listening to a few youtube vids of this car i don't think it's a db7

i think it's not even an aston martin i think it sounds like a corvette c6 or c5 racecar or any other american v8 car but it sounds lovely, you could maybe use it as c5 sound mod

[letunneurs]

It's sure it's not an aston martin. I will think too on a muscle car. Maybe shelby gt500 or pontiac firebird :confused:

For a start that's a V8 :cheeky: rather than the DB7's V12...

[Doctor G.]

Thanks for your ideas.

I just found from what cd it comes from! :

http://www.carsonline.com.au/soundcds.html (at the bottom of the list)

It doesn't help much because there is no complete tracklist, they say there is a db7 in it though... (I have a tracklist here, just wanted to check if it is the same)... Maybe the graphist made a mistake or there was a confusion when naming the files... Here is my tracklist :

 

01. Porsche GT2 -2'50.wma

02. 24h du Mans -4'47.wma

03. Chryser Viper -2'50.wma

04. GT Races -3'53.wma

05. Porsche 964 -2'37.wma

06. Historic Race -4'42.wma

07. porsche 911- 2L -2'06.wma

08. Lamborghini trophy -2'57.wma

09. Porsche 996 Cup -2'36.wma

10. Ferrari Challenge -3'02.wma

11. Ferrari F355 -2'37.wma

12. Aston Martin Db7 -2'22.wma

13. Porsche GT3 -1'56.wma

14. Mc Laren -1'36.wma

 

Still trying to find more info about this damn cd.

[Doctor G.]

Ok, I think I resolved the mystery, and guess what? It is a DB7 actually!

Just read this :

http://www.astonmartins.com/db7/db7_v8_lemans_GT1.htm

You guys were right about the v8 though!!

 

So the proper name would be "Aston martin DB7 V8 GT1 Le Mans"

Also, I've read that the first generation of DB7 (1994) had a 6 cylinders inline engine. Could it be such an engine in the recording? Just to make sure...

[Dan G]

must be a special racing V8 engine made just for the DB7, like the M3 GTR, that had a race-derived V8 rather than the normal straight 6, definitely a V8 in the recording, sounds very "industrial" like an ascari, that's probably because its a stripped out racer therefore you can hear everything going on

 

e: at 0:36 i can hear the trannie, it's a racer

Man i think it's an eleanor sound :)

Shelby GT500E but im not sure

[TDUFREAK500]

sounds really great do you have the Ferrari F355 files??

[marius110993]

Wow it sounds very nice.:thumbsup: You should post it:D

Not at all, I think you didn't read the other posts.

 

do you have the Ferrari F355 files??

What f355 files?

 

 

Wow it sounds very nice.:thumbsup: You should post it:D

It's not a sound mod, it's a real record... Doing such complex sounds for TDU is absolutly impossible!

I made a sound mod from this audio though, but I cannot finish it right now because I have some big problem with the high rpm's :

[TDUFREAK500]

well in the list of tracks on the CD it said Ferrari F355 I was just wondering if you might have had any other files off the CD

[Doctor G.]

Oh sorry I didn't understand what you were talking about... Yes I have all the files from this CD but I think I have already used all those that were good, this F355 audio for example is useless mostly because you can hear the screaming engines of other cars around during all the recording.

Can I download that please doctor I Love how it sounds
