Default Sucked in to liking V8s just for the sound?

Come on, let's be honest, who likes V8s mainly for the sound? Well now you don't have to own a V8 just to get the sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9XAC...layer_embedded
Sorry if this has been posted before.

That reminds me of my first car - Ke30 Corolla with a cheap powerful Cunninhams warehouse special stereo. Engine noise was so bad in it we used to tune off station and drive around with it cranked to getg that same effect!

Few headaches were suffered back then!

this is a very old idea, I first saw this on beyond 2000 with Amanda Keller as the story presenter. Only that one had the option of about 6 different engine noises on the single unit, Lotus, Ferrarri, Lambo, V8 etc

In the mid 70's,I worked at a sawmill that had a 1939 Ford Blitz Truck powered by a flathead v8 ( the larger one) the exhaust was only two short stacks off of each manifold aiming down and there was no engine cover....

you want good sound???

Now THAT was glorious!!

For 50 dollars it would be cheaper to get some playing cards & pegs, and clip them to the inside of your wheels.

What a great idea, and only $50!

I'm definitely getting one of these for my brother's Tucson.
