Hi - I'm looking for owners of amazing sounding V8 powered cars, who'd be interested in a free dyno session; where I'll record the car sound to potentially use in a video game, and you'll get all power/torque printouts. I have a session booked next Tuesday (5th sept) at Abbey Motorsport (www.abbeymotorsport.co.uk) in Oxted, Surrey.

I'm ideally looking for that classic V8 sound.

If interested please contact Lewis on :-

Hi. What time is the session on Tuesday? Would my 450 Chimaera be any good to you?

Folks - see this link; www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=272460&f=105&h=0

I did this a couple of months back and it is an interesting experience. Took the Mustang along, and the car was treated well and the folk at Abbey know their stuff. I was probably more stressed than the engine ever was, and the sound team took the car up in increments of app 500rpm, for different periods of time (5/10/12 seconds) to a max of 5.5k rpm. The sound in a small enclosed space was insane and as the link also shows, I received some interesting and informative dyno readings.

One final thing - I am not "selling" this given that I work for EA who are making this reques - but posting as an owner. Always good to memorialise your Tiv in a video game!

Great plan, although I warn you, you won't want to give it back
