    Have you heard an F1 car in real life?

    Nothing except maybe Ferrari's and other exotics alike would sound like them and even them it soudns pissweak compared to an F1 car..

    I've heard an K24a3 with an Injen. It's still very subtle.. nothing like a B-series.

    K24A3 doesn't scream. It roars... Not enough RPM to scream.

    The noise from the F1s are not the engine, what you actually hear is the gearbox, many racing cars uses spur gears which are more efficient than normal gears but are more noisey.

    It's the engine. You should hear them free-rev when the car is at standstill in neutral.

    Go to the F1 or even watch it on TV. Listen to them free rev it in neutral when at the start line. It sounds mad, and the gearbox isn't even spinning yet.

    Yup definately engine and exaust noise you hear from F1 cars. The open exaust will drown out any gearbox noise there is. Listen to rally or touring cars and you will hear the gearbox sounds. Generally being straight cut and no synchro makes for a noisey gearbox.

    I think I know what 19,000rpm sounds like when I hear it. It's definitely the engine/exhaust.
