I like the sound of my samurai anyhow. V8 not requiured.

Dave 02-16-2010 12:25 PM

might be fun in the work van though...

Homeslice 02-16-2010 12:30 PM

That's not too far off reality. A couple cars have speakers or ducts that send engine noise into the cabin.

One of them is the Z4:

Quote:

Duncan Forrester, of BMW, said: “We set out with the Z4 to bring the engine noise back into the cabin. With a car like this, it is essential that the driver can hear the engine, what it is doing, and what is going on under the bonnet.”

BMW boasts of having 100 “acoustic engineers” on its books. Their work means that the BMW 7 Series saloon whispers along in a vacuum, the driver worried about having gone deaf. At traffic lights, only a furtive glance at the rev counter tells you that the engine hasn’t died. By contrast, the Z4 is motor-din heaven. Like a decent audio system, the car’s engine sound management system has been tuned to get the most out of the motor. Noise from the engine is fed into the cabin, with intake system pressure noises from the intake manifold, instead of being killed off with yards of felt matting. It arrives in the cabin via a tube and a flexing diaphragm. The result is a high-octane backing track.

While I appreciate the sound of my engine, I dont know that I'd want it any louder in the cabin than it already is. I like being able to hear myself think,

heh, didnt know that. Ive driven both the regular and m versions and found them to be soulless with one of the nastiest shifters known to sports cars. Clutch feel was bad too iirc

Avatard 02-16-2010 03:07 PM

This should be built into all new car radios, and you should be able to select your engine from a list...if you can't drive what you really want, at least you can listen to it.

:lol

It would be like selecting the voice of your GPS.

I don't think it is around anymore, but there used to be a company that catered to the import crowd. They made a device you stuck under the hood of NA cars that generated the sound of a loud wastegate so you could fool people in to thinking you had a turbo. I think the device was called the nightpager.

Ford Mustang. Even bike manufacturers are tuning the sounds from their airboxs and intakes to make the sounds more exciteing

Adeptus_Minor 02-16-2010 08:31 PM

Playing cards...

So long as it includes a honad civic with a fart can and all those stickers :lol:

smileyman 02-16-2010 08:56 PM

Airbox. Where the pressurized air accumulates before it either gets sucked into bellmouths of carbuerators or the venturi of fuel injection. Alot of sound tuning above the throttle bodies these days. Heard about it at the BMW 1K and the new Z1K launches.

derf 02-16-2010 09:48 PM

I totally think this thing is cool beyond belief. It will go great with my turbo whistle

Usually it is a growl. Kawasakis over the last 10-15 years are especially known for lots of intake noise.

Who wants to hear the engine anyway? When your driving GM...that is last thing you wish to hear. lol

Dave 02-17-2010 03:33 AM

Heresy. Nothing sounds nicer than a sweet high compression mouse motor into tubing headers.

Infidel.

in terms of sound.
screamer v8 > crossplane v8. everytime

smileyman 02-17-2010 09:55 AM

V8s rule! I have an old 454 that sounds like a B17 when it is droning along. Paradise.

And sitting in line up for a stock car race listening to 18-20 idling V8s is excitement squared.

Better than the Z3, which had a girlie body and a crap rear suspension

Eh, I like them.........Their steering has good feel and isn't over-geared at high speeds, unlike most American and Japanese cars.

Dave 02-18-2010 10:50 AM

cant say ive ever had an overgearing issue in any of my cars. Then again i tend to lean towards cars with close ratio boxes

Overgeared as in the steering ratio, i.e. geared too fast for highway speeds
