How can I get this?

[rammstein]

What is the cheapest way for me to get a car that makes sounds like this?

[pwd72s]

Buy one thatr has been totaled with a good engine. Park in your driveway, go "vroom-vroom"...

A startlingly realistic answer!

Now why does that car sound so awesome? What makes cars like this sound so freakin amazing?

If you thought a 951 was high maintenance...

12 cylinders and a ridiculous red line.

[rammstein]

I want 12 cylinders with a ridiculous redline then.

Find two totaled Trailblazers...and learn to weld.

[nostatic]

just buy a decent modern motorcycle with a good set of pipes on it. A hell of a lot cheaper and you can get some sick sounds out of it. 17K redline anyone?

That has a twin-turbo V8.

Oh, and the oil filter is between the intake manifold and the engine block.

Come to think of it, get an early 90's Jag. That will get you the V12. Another $50k of engine and suspension work should make it drivable and get that high red line.

That Lambo sounds like that because it is running without mufflers. They sound quite a bit different with mufflers. That car is supposed to have a red line of 7,500. The earlier ones were good to 8,000. He may be twisting it a little higher than he should. Judging from the smoke in the first part of the video, he is running it too hard when cold, so the owner is probably a twat. In fact, I can guarantee that, as nobody with a brain does that to a car.

you found my favorite youtube video

my bike has a similar sound. not quite as loud, but similar and cheap

[lendaddy]

Tape some kazoos over your tailpipes?

[rammstein]

I had a crown victoria with no mufflers. It didn't sound like that

So... could you fit a V12 in a 944?

From wiki:

There are two classic types of V8s which differ by crankshaft:

The cross-plane or two-plane crankshaft is the configuration used in most V8 road cars. Each crank pin (of four) is at a 90° angle from the previous, so that viewed from the end the crankshaft forms a cross. The cross-plane can achieve very good balance but requires heavy counterweights on the crankshaft. This makes the cross-plane V8 a slow-revving engine that cannot speed up or slow down very quickly compared to other designs, because of the greater rotating mass. While the firing of the cross-plane V8 is regular overall, the firing of each bank is LRLLRLRR. In stock cars with dual exhausts, this results in the typical V8 burble sound that many people have come to associate with powerful engines. In all-out racing cars it leads to the need to connect exhaust pipes between the two banks to design an optimal exhaust system, resulting in an exhaust system that resembles a bundle of snakes as in the Ford GT40. This complex and encumbering exhaust system has been a major problem for single-seater racing car designers, so they tend to use flat-plane crankshafts instead.
The flat-plane or single-plane crankshaft has crank pins at 180°. They are imperfectly balanced and thus produce vibrations unless balance shafts are used, with a counter rotating pair flanking the crankshaft to counter second order vibration transverse to the crankshaft centerline. As it does not require counterweights, the crankshaft has less mass and thus inertia, allowing higher rpm and quicker acceleration. The design was popularized in modern racing with the Coventry Climax 1.5 L (~92 CID) V8 that evolved from a cross-plane to a flat-plane configuration. Flat-plane V8s on road cars come from Ferrari (the Dino), Lotus (the Esprit V8), and TVR (the Speed Eight). This design is popular in racing engines, the most famous example being the Cosworth DFV.[9]

...and a two-cycle bike engine would probably belch less oil smoke.

[rammstein]

Sammy- awesome post! That's sort of what I was looking for... I wondered why a v8 mustang sounds so completely different than a ferrari v8. Good readin!

[masraum]

If you guys want to hear some sounds that'll send chills down your spine....



This commercial rocks.

You could try a sport bike?

That's what I used to love about my FZR400 - the sound and the revs. It wasn't a super fast bike but it did sound good and sounded way better hitting the red line than my ex did hitting hers.
