Looking for multi-sampled car engine sounds

Howdy, We are making a little racing game. While most of the sound FX are pretty easy to do, I'm having trouble finding good engine sounds. We already have a code that crossfades sounds according to RPM (like described here). The problem is that it seems to be next to impossible to find an engine sound made for this purpose. The net and a million sample CDs are full of car sounds, but they are always passbys, engines starting, revving, cars driving towards and away, and so on. In other words, useless for this purpose. I have already Googled like a madman, checked out all the links in the "SFX & Music Resources" -thread and listened to a lot of sample CDs... absolutely nothing. I have the SFX Kit sample CD collection which is _almost_ what I need.. it has some nice looped engine sounds, but unfortunately there's only one or two sounds per car, not really enough. What I need is multiple samples from the same engine running steadily at different RPMs. Preferably looped, but I can always do that myself. :) I guess all modern racing games use these type of multi-sampled engine sounds, so I'd imagine _someone_ has put those on a CD, and/or is selling them online? Of course there's always the option of recording the sounds myself.. but since someone has obviously already done this with better mics and cars I have access to, I'd be happy to pay some money in order to use the results. :)

What kind of car are you looking for (or does it matter)? I have quite a few car workups I've done over the past few years.

Hmm...guess I'll PM you.
