The goal: sweet sounding car

I did a search for this but couldnt find any good information.The question is.How do i get my FD sounding like a F1 car?I know that whatever i put on it , it wont sound exactly like one (F1 cars=10 cylinder 1400 hp engines) but trying to get as close as possible.Basicly I want to be loud but not farty like alot of the honda cars you hear.Also,how do you get your turbos to make that loud whistling sound when they spool up?Thanks for the help peoples.

To help with the whistle get a downpipe and intake. For the mad sound, get hi-flow cat, and a cat-back exhaust. Warning, though, this is really loud. Oh, and if you run aforementioned modifications, you better get something to either control the boost (keep it at stock 10psi max) or get an ECU to bump up the fuel. Also, with this setup, you'll be able to shoot flames

Well, not EXACTLY like an F1 car, but sweet none the less - drop a 3 rotor in there. Music courtesy of www.alamorotary.com:

After you've heard this, nothing you do to your two rotor will make it sound as good.

It's even more beautiful when you hear one at WOT in person

your website sounds cool

as far as good sounding, I think my car sounds great with SS downpipe and RB cat-back. True, it's not an F1 type of sound. But it's kind of hard to replicate a V-10 running at 17k rpm with a 8k rpm limited rotary....
