It's still not a V-8; never will be.
While I agree that the distinctive pops going into turn 1 were unique and pretty cool, we still need to hear a real street car. I don't think it will be nearly as good. I also don't think you will have many opportunities to bang six (or 7? ) downshifts from peak RPM on the street. Also,we in the hospitality viewing stands had the benefit of direct exposure to side discharging open pipes; also something you will not have on the street.
Don't get me wrong. I absolutely loved Daytona, and enjoyed every noise I heard the GTs and EcoBoost prototypes make. While I do personally prefer the sound of a V-8, ( think vintage Trans Am and Can Am ) I certainly wouldn't think about that for a millisecond, if I get the opportunity for a NGT. Also, how long do you think it will take for one of our ingenious members to come up with a way to make it sound better?

StormCat is already working on new sounds. He and Camilo were burping into tin cans and recording it. They are mixing it with recordings of Blake snoring. Quite the audio stimulus. I think they are going to mix in an IndyGT diatribe as well for that low, throaty rasp.
