LOL, must be pretty anticlimactic if your revs in the minivan go up at a snails pace and there is no get up and go with the noise. The car in the vid at least revved up reasonably fast. I like the lopey idle that "car" had.

I wonder if that would work in my VW Bus?!! Although, I think the disco sounds pretty cool as well.

That's great. Damn, I waited too long! I had that idea about 5 or 6 years ago but using an amp that powered spkrs under the car at the rear, with a choice of different engines programmed into it.

I figured that, if for no other reason, it'd be a kick to make a racket at stoplights, challenging ricers to race, then switching it off and driving off sedately.

Guess I'll have to go to my plan B to make my fortune - a book, 101 Unsolveable Puzzles. And if that doesn't fly, another book, 101 Untried Recipes.

That's pretty funny and they got the sound of the big Aussie V8's just about right.

Oh no we are probably going to have about 10,000 young Asian boy racers with their sterio speakers pointed out the windows and cruising around the part of town where I live

The fact that it reads the RPMs from the alternator is pretty cool. Its goofy, but at least its well done goofy.

OK, I'm telling U here and I'm telling U NOW!

Boise - and NOT just U Ayzhun ones in Idaho - mark my word; the socialist commie plot called global warming and the Chicken Little move away from fossile fuels are having a dire and direct impact shown right HEAR!

Boise, what I have been predicting for years and what you all have stupidly neglected to pay attention to, is that what U ar witnessing is technolgical evdents of the fact that U are witnessing the beginnings of the demise of the race track and the rise of the sound track.

PS Tabs don't got no prognosticational corner here.

No sir.

No?

Erik the Red named it Greenland to attract settlers because Greenland is buried under ice; all but the southern part of it.
