    One thing I've noticed is that the official vehicles' idle sounds are too quiet. For instance, listen to this 1973 Bruckell Moonhawk Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme:



    The Moonhawk in BeamNG barely has any noticeable idle, which is unfortunate.

    The car in the video has an aftermarket exhaust system and what sounds like a performance camshaft.

    Mid-late 70s land yachts did not sound like that from the factory. If anything, the Moonhawk sounds too aggressive for a stock 70s car.

    Stock Moonhawk would probably sound more like this

    It's not so much the aggression, it's the volume. The Moonhawk doesn't even sound like that - it's more like a dull hum. It almost sounds like a duller, smoother version of my dad's Subaru.
