Many videos of VH Vantage cars feature an exhaust sound, but very few seem able to capture the realistic sound.
Having tried experimenting myself using remote microphones in different positions, most attempts have been disappointing.

Please post the best quality realistic sound videos which you have found, both V8 and V12, road and race.

How about this one to begin with?

Your recording is very good. I listen through a household audio system, with big speakers.

Your mic presumably was the standard internal GoPro. So often wind noise is evident when a mic is in airflow, but you have managed to avoid that. Did you use a sucker mount for the camera, fixed perhaps to the tailgate? The camera moved slightly, which cleverly makes viewers think there must be a cameraman clinging on to the back of your car.
