It’s a bit silly that they’re switching to turbo for efficiency reasons, and then blowing extra fuel out the tail on rundown for the “awesome” popping noises.

Or you could have a performance car from the 90s with batch fire injection that naturally has some leftover fuel in it sometimes.... Jussayin.

OH and by the way it sounds awesome so.

I’ve driven a few Cooper S’sss and I’ve never heard them burble that much. You sure that’s normal?

1 = more sad. 2 = a little sad but only if every car starts doing it. Then it becomes boring by saturation.

Your #2 point isn’t really true. The pops don’t come from added fuel (FI map squirt on decel), but spark is cut when you lift off the throttle and fuel already sprayed hasn’t been burned until it ignites on the way out of the cylinder.

Respectfully disagree

This is hilarious and I would totally never get sick of it

there’s more douche-bag in that video than in all of Jersey Shore.

Engine noise into cabin is worse. At least with the exhaust sound it’s technically coming from the exhaust/engine and not pre-recorded audio blasting through speakers. But Raph is right, they both make me sad.

The Mustang and Camaro have both done this for a while now. It sounds cool as hell and lots of people love it.

they both make me sad!

They could get away with anything because they were JAAAAAAAG....probably still can !!

The XJ220 racing the oval at IRP on “Saturday Night Thunder” is still one of the weirdest things I’ve seen on TV.

I’m glad my gray hair is just starting to come in... and my New Balances are gray and silver.

Maybe the carryon’s they had were filled with puppies and kittens?!

That's her, with her shame-face.

This made me think of how I pack and that I should have an easy to grab small bag with my insulin pump supplies that is easily accessible when traveling internationally. I probably wouldn’t do it for a domestic flight since I could quickly get new supplies.

As long as you’re the only one selfish prick grabbing your belongs, I guess it’s OK.

There -fixed it for you.

I’m glad you used the usually modifier. I lost a friend when the throttle stuck and pinched him between the bike and the guardrail until the telephone pole broke his neck. Last thing I said to him is you’re going to kill yourself on that thing.

It wouldn’t take me two extra seconds to grab my bags, filled with thousands of dollars worth of stuff, and which the fire“fighters” would try, with enthusiasm, to destroy...

The Battle of Jakku only takes place a year or so after Return of the Jedi. It looks like the First Order are updating their Walkers by the time of The Force Awakens.
