Matt Cheely Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Renault's 2.4L V8 Being that I work with engines that will blow apart at 3000 RPM, 20k is just insane to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y. Koester Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I hate engines, and cars. Just kidding that was a cool video. It sounds insane. Oh you must work on diesels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 That rocks!!! If I ever get rich..... I have built a couple small block V8's that turned 8-9K, and a couple big blocks that turned 7-8K, the sound change from 6K to 8K is incredible. Taking a SB Chevy 383 to 9K RPM and have it still pulling HARD is like having a sordick, you just can't beat it. My current 'hotrod' stops pulling hard much over 3200 and is governed at 3500. Love the incredible power and torque with superb fuel ecomomy, but the sound of a stout V8 is something I really miss. Garbage truck on crack or school bus on meth is how most describe the sound now LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GentlemanJim Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 A blown alcohol burning 548cid big block chevy sitting 6 inches behind your head at 9000 rpm will get your dander up ...a bit I do love that sound...but then again its why Im half deaf Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 There is absolutely nothing like the sound of a modern F1 engine. Pure malevolent ultraviolence. Yeah baby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Gundry Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Ah, naturally aspirated through individual throttle bodies is probably the best combo for pure unadulterated gut wrenching awesome sound there is (but I'd still drive a turbo 5 over just about anything out there today) The throttle response of those things amazes me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hello: I still like the sound of Porsche 911 aircooled 6 behind your head at 8000rpm in 5th gear Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is always a wake up call sitting at the range getting your gear on and then you hear this loud roar coming from the entrance to club and everyone knows who just showed up. Though you must have snuck in on Sunday last week as I never heard you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshF Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 It really is music to the ears........ Still one of my favorite You Tube clips I've had lots of toys but the best "obtainable" one I still have not owned is a Ducati. There is nothing sweeter. Lopey V-twin idle, clattering clutch and a 10k top end...... It's like the best trait of every engine I've ever heard combined. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ-UyhAHKaI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boz1911 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 No there's nothing like a 6000 hp topfuel car!!!!!! You cannot describe the sound of a T/F car to someone. It must be experienced in person. 1000 horses per cylinder is absolutely insane !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I can tell you from recent experience that two top-fuel cars leaving the line are louder than two F/A-18s launching from a carrier deck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outerlimits Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The 20,000 rpm V8 has always intrigued me too....the F1 engines and the entire F1 sport is state of the ART technology!!! what's truely astounding is that anything stays to gether...we're talking 330+ revolutions every second! now wonder common valve springs didn't cut it. and if you think that's amazing, think of the speed of the transmission changes.

boz1911 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I seem to remember an F1 engine has such tight clearances that it won't even spin over until it's warmed up by an external heat device........a little different from my old drag racing days when we could spin an engine (without spark plugs) with one hand.

Neomet Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Yeah, most circulate preheated coolant through the engine prior to startup. I think it was Renault that went to pneumatic valve springs first when they started spinning 16 to 17k rpm. I remember thinking I thought the guy was pulling my leg when he told me about it. Little did I know. Guess that is why I do what I do instead of designing F1 engines. Edited to add link to this clip of a quasi-regular guy trying to drive one of these beasts. Hope he had his Depends on! http://videos.streetfire.net/video/top-gea...-one_143033.htm Edited October 18, 2008 by Neomet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
