I really love how the sounds are coming along

could sit in the pits listening to the engines all day especially the LX6
One thing bothers me though

if I ignore the RPM dial and just listen to the engine sound, I get the impression its half the RPM of what it actually shows if I compare to RL. E.g. 6,000 RPM is what I'd expect 3,000 RPM on my car to sound like, am I missing something obvious or do others get the same impression
Just thinking about an engine and its sounds... on the compression stroke it fires making a noise in a sealed chamber then once the power stroke is over the valves open to let the burnt gases out and resonating sound from the explosion moments before creating the impression of a second exlposion, thus making a 3,000 RPM four stroke sound more aggressive than what we would initially expect

Only explanation I could think of
Anyway all the sounds sound great to me, its just they sound half the RPM of what they show... 3,000 RPM sounds like idle speed

I've sat beside a race breed V8 idling at 2,000RPM and it doesn't sound like my car idling at 1,000 RPM, in contrast it made the ground shake with its awsome power
