I completely agree, V8's just dont seem to sound as good and if Im honest every 4cyl sounds "tinny" to me. V6 hum, V12 wail.

 

Some day all engines will rev like this... if we don't run out of oil first!

Thursday night is Rev Night!!

Personally, I reckon this lad needs to press the throttle a little harder.

I wonder what engine it's running?

 

BMW 1 series complete with Judd V8

Not just `The case for normally aspirated`, but also `The case for six-branched, de-catted, no-backbox VRs through tunnels`...

Freshly installed this week, and given a darn good thrashing by yours truly. The bloke in the CLS (who had seriously tailgated the `1.4 Golf Match` all the way towards the tunnel ) was utterly agog!

Hahaaha! love it Stu! that sounds epic!

 

Like the sign at 1:11 "Police Slow"

 

No boxes at all!?

Love it! Mine sounds nothing like it.

 

I slowed down didn`t I?

Not that there`s ever any dibble down there...too many posh knobs/footballers in Astons and Ferraris that would take exception (in fact that tunnel is where Ronaldo wrapped up his Ferrari...somehow...it`s practically a straight!)

Not a one! He does plan to put a backbox on at least, but if it was me I`d be tempted not to!

 

I think one box is mad enough on mine Hope to get mine down the pod and my mate to film it as I'm sure it sounds better from the outside than in the car

 

It sounds even more ridiculous from the outside!

At idle, and low revs it sounds not unlike...

...then when it`s given full beans you can hear it from nearly a mile away (literally!)

 

I know the Ginetta G55 is definately N/A - 3.7 Ford V6!!! Amazing on a sequential gearbox!

Not 100% sure if this JGTC NSX is N/A, but it sounds amazing all the same!!!

Joss Ronchetti's Sunbeam Lotus aka “The Bullet”



Bit of a retro classic - a one-page article in Autosport in the last couple of years stuck it on the radar, and the power output is stonking. These Lotus engines (same as the Esprit?) were 2.2 litres orginally. Somehow they've got this out to 2.7 litres with 99mm pistons, and 300 normally aspirated bhp.

From last to first here at Thruxton - the driver is on it with some great undercuts and lines to block off the opposition as he chops through the field. He's seems in class of his own to be fair - I've seen it at Brands but not as dominant in the DMN series - but it's a great watch, wringing that engine a treat.

This one at Mallory, not quite making the same sort of progress with the shorter straights but gradually picking them off with great determination, despite fighting turbo power
