It is indeed. Man...I'm a huge fan of Ken Block and I love the whole Gymkhana series...and I find the performance of that Audi deeply impressive. But...I just cannot connect with the sound those things make. They sound like an answering machine being raped by a 1/4" reel-2-reel...and one of them has asthma...and the other took a hit of helium...and all that was recorded back onto the reel-2-reel---and someone is constantly changing the playback speed.

To me the supercharged 1400hp Hoonicorn was the pinnacle. Like said, I find the Audi impressive as hell but, I can't help but think that if I had the chance of riding shotgun with Ken, the sound would distract me to no end. I think that's what it must sound like when the clockwork elves pull you through the fabric of space-time to a crescendo of 10,000 tearing sheets of cellophane.

Not to worry about the sounds they make now...
They Will eventually get them to sound like the BTTF Delorean hitting 88MPH 😉

That would be sooooo cool!
 
Agree nothing beats the sound of real engine done up with a turbo/supercharger and nice throaty exhaust

Call me old fashioned..
But, Those sounds from the twin turbos spooling up in the old gen3 RX-7 still gets all me roused up every time I hear them.

Ever since I heard the Mazda 787b in the Grand Turismo game I will never forget the sound of that 4 rotor engine. Offensive, exciting, intoxicating and just plain evil sounding all at once IMO!!
 
KB is a pimp.
His level of car control is otherworldly.

Dude, thanks for sharing that. I’d never heard one before. That thing is nasty!!!

Well modern cars l/trucks like my Infiniti M37 have no mechanical connection to the break system and accelerator. Some vehicles have electric steering too. So isn't that just a Gian RC too? Everything is fly by wire. The only difference between an RC and a real car is that we sit in it. And some cars can be driven remotely for that reason already. So now I consider everything RC 🤣:

I used to own a 3rd gen Rx7, loved the sound of those turbos & when the second one kicked in. I did end up swapping out to a large single turbo, but that car was fun. Until a buddy stole it & started parting it out.....still miss that car.
 
Long story, but at the end he got busted & I got the car back in pieces. He ended up getting charged with possesion of stolen goods, got community service, & I received $100 in restitution from him.

I put the car back together best I could, was still missing quite a few parts, sold it & between what insurance gave me & what I sold it for bought a Viper.

About 13 years ago I had bought a 13b rotary motor and was designing a coupler to link 2 of them together because I could not afford 60k for a 26b motor.
Ultimately I abandoned the project and sold the motor off, but there is no sound like a peripheral ported 4 rotor except for formula 1.

Talk about turning lemons to lemonade..
Now That's an impressive turn of events 💪
