The new C8 Z06 uses (or reuses?) the E-Ray’s default engine sound, only with a higher rev limit (at the very least they got that aspect of the LT6 right). Unsure if bug or design choice.
Compare the sound here, in FM23:
And an IRL onboard reference:
…and FH5 (my personal recording, sorry for subpar video quality):
Guess what? The 488 GTB’s engine sound in-game is VERY close to what the Z06 should sound like. Just gotta figure out how to remove the turbo sounds and add more low-end burble. Just reuse that.
TL;DR: new vette engine sound borked and the LT6 isn’t LT6ing. pgg pls fix
EDIT: fixed in the latest update. Still not as loud as the real thing, but this’ll have to do.
I was expecting the C8 Z06 to sound like the actual car, but it apparently doesn’t have the beautiful V8 sound to it. Only Forza Motorsport made it sound accurate enough to the actual car. Please fix this Forza Devs, it would make me and the other players more happy with this
Yeah, this needs to be fixed. The best part of this car is the sound. FH5 does not sound like an IRL car at all. Motorsport version is close, they should at least use that sound. I hope this is just a bug that can be easily fixed.
I was so mad when I got on and it sounded nothing like the Z06 and just reused the ERay sound. I would honestly be happy with a 458 sound over what we have now.
Don’t they have any sound engineer or don’t they test the cars before adding…I don’t know man!!! They only want money…The new car pack even has so many bugs…Hopeless.
Yep sounds absolutely awful. No excuse. They could of used a 488 GTB sound they already have and probably this would of been avoided. Car sounds nothing like it does. And it was a highly requested vehicle for a year now.
The FH5 sound file is just the E-Ray without the electric motors. I would understand if the 5.5L Flatplane crank V8 sounded similar to the 6.2L V8, but, to literally everyone alive, can tell the difference, as it is not just a simple “higher rev limit” 6.2L. Ignoring displacement to sound ratio is like saying a 4.4L V8TT sounds like a 8.9L S/C V8. It kinda just doesn’t.
Been a long time since I logged in. But I just had to say that this sound really needs a patch. I have no idea why anyone thought it would be acceptable as almost half of the hype around the C8 Z06 to begin with was the fact that it had a flat plane crank and sounded like a Ferrari. The sound is so bad I don’t even want to win this car but I’m going to in hopes of it being patched. If it doesn’t, I’ll eventually sell it.
A little something I whipped up to demonstrate how the car would sound in FH5 if the Z06 had its proper sound, for reference. I grabbed the 458 Italia’s sound assignments wholesale for this. If PGG decides to fix the Z06’s sound, then this would be a good option.
