What a Viper V-8 sounds like

[AlbertFattal]

The story: This GTS-R was a little too dominant in this race series, so regulations mandated that the GTS-R could have a maximum of 8 active cylinders. The car retains the same V-10 block due to the production standards of this race series, however two of the cylinders are duds. They crafted a completely new crankshaft to stay within the 8 cylinder restrictions.

What you have, is the sound of a V-8 (8 active cylinders) running on the V-10 block (with two dud cylinders):

I'm familiar with the cars.  I think Exotic engine had something to do with the engines.

Also, they went to a V-8 (while retaining the V-10 block) due to a displacement limit, i.e. 6 liters or something like that. 

The GTS-R platform is still very competitive in GT racing.

Wow! I wish our cars sounded like that!

Ben, just shut off two of your cylinders and BAM, you got that sound!!! Plus, we could use a handicap against the insanely fast Banzai! What do you think?

Maybe I'll try it just to hear that V8 sound! On second thought, I'll just fire up the Camaro.  >w

You're crazy Stig! You dust me at autocross and go karts already.
I think we should pull two of your spark plug wires to even the field.
