bananahamuck Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 What's the weird rattling noise? Rocks kicked up by the tires?? But I would love to get me a big ole trailer hauling Ford pig like the one at 1:14 :wub: :wub: 1 Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'll admit it didn't sound too good at part throttle, but when he got on it, it reved fast, and sounded pretty good. The ticking sound could have been pebbles kicked up, but it sounded like something inside the car to me. Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 This is not a grocery hauler girls. It's a race car, and it sounds exactly how it's supposed to. It's not tuned to bog around a damn parking lots like a pussy whipped Honda civic. It's meant to run WFO, and you'll notice when it does, it sounds like a devil kraken. Non-enthusiasts. 3 Quote Link to comment

True, but non-enthusiasts do rate engine sound as important as good brakes. :lol: Can't WOT around town all day. That 'race car' sounds like a slipping clutch.... and where's all the rubber marks? Even Ken leaves tire marks. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I say its as much a race car as the crapped out eclipse on the beginning of the film, or the RX rear parked next to it. The exhaust notes are crushing the microphone on the camera so who knows what the motor really sounds like. My hunch is this is a really badly modified Bimmer and the video was titled in an egregious manner. Paradime I know you know an actual race car has to have a full range of throttle use.. Not just WFO throttle.... This car would die out in a 90deg turn should there be a group up of cars then. No HONDA homo :D 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 No roll bar... no race car. oh... and nice racing helmet on the driver. lultz. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'm a non enthusiast. I hear the badass. But the video sound is messing it up. You need to have a bud shoot from the sidewalk to give a better depiction. The cam is aggressive as fuck so it will not sound all that smooth putting around. I presume E85 has a unique quality in the muffler and that muffler manufacturers are not lining up to design one appropriately. Quote Link to comment

That's a U turn. :lol: How can you tell no roll bar, view is just out the front? Could be a 4 or 6 point behind the camera. True. Nothing in glass reflection or rear view mirror.

goes2fast Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's been proven more than once that you can make more power with E85 than with race gas. 1 Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yea but wasn't going anywhere really loud and slow 2 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 No doubt this B'mer needs more tuning, but the vid was called a "TEST" run not a track day. Even with the sputtering at low rev, the car wakes right the fuck up when given throttle. You guys are right though, it's not a sweet polite daily driver, and I totally understand aggressive loud race cars makes some people uncomfortable. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare anyone with this. Maybe we need to start a REAL ENGINE PORN thread, because clearly, it takes a real enthusiast to appreciate this kind of rough stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment

laotsu Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Dick It's not his fault. I've witnessed this several times with old men losing their sight to macular degeneration. They feel out of control and as if life is over for them because they can't function in the world as they once did. This sense of a loss of control intimidates them and they lash out at the world around them. It's pretty understandable actually, it's a kind of self fulfilling prophesy, "I feel useless so I will make you treat me that way." To be precise he is scared. He deserves our pity not scorn. RIP Old Ron. 1 Quote Link to comment
