Gt8 - noise test

[martinvantage]

Really looking forward to this car. If anyone has the results of any noise tests please do post. Am hoping that the levels may be OK for the odd track day.

I really doubt that. Most tracks these days seem to want electric cars with no noise.

True. I wasnt allowed to use my DBS past 4000rpm due to noise. And that was with the OE exhaust.

Look on Twitter for the pull away video of the gt8 from EVOs car of the year 2016.....I don't think it's going to pass many noise tests

Mike at BR told me yesterday that the Gt8 is louder than a 4.7 Vantage, in full-time valves-open mode, with BR's 200-cell cats and manifolds installed. That makes it loud with a capital 'F'!

Perfect if it's a track focussed Aston you can't take on a track day.
If anyone from Gaydon is reading please put me out of misery one way or the other...

Perhaps Gaydon will organise some days again as they used too.

That's great! Just the right amount of sound needed to remind turbo-engines they lack soul
