While I have been trying to solve a static problem with GPL, I have been
experimenting with various sound.dat files. The interesting thing I have
found is that with certain sound.dat files I seem to be faster. Not just
a little faster either. I mean 1-2 secs faster. I drive with headphones
and use the sound to tell me my shift points (usually).
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this? Does anyone know why
this should happen? I know I try to drive consistently, but a 1-2 sec
difference is very noticeable.

BTW, I have kept my sound.dat that lets me drive fastest <G>
It's an old Mea***er file, don't ask which one, I took it from an old
backup I did of GPL.

For sure. I picked up 1-2 seconds a lap in my Ferrari when I got rid of
the original sound an replaced it with the stock sound. Much clearer and
quicker!

Cheers!

Is this for real,  I ahve been working my but off to get down too 3:23s at
Spa and I could have done it with a sound file change.  Tho,  I can get teh
Ferrari within a few tenths of the Lotus at Watkins, running high 1:05s.
