Personally, I would prefer a giant fly zapper. Two steel grids hooked up to each leg of a 240V cord. Separate them with a small ceramic insulator. Place the whole thing on a rubber mat under my truck.
Where’s the damn Trunk Monkey when you need him?
Ah yes because a rally car sounds exactly like a cut cat Honda Fit
“My Honda Fit briefly sounded like a race car”
Testing the waters? Yeah, came back positive for cholera. Absolute ND.
I suspect that is exactly not what they’re doing while maintaining a perfectly uniform speed in a huge crowd of people.
This is going to be the debate going forward for EV’s. As iconic car sounds like BMW M-cars and Dodge Hemi’s transition to electric how should they sound? BMW tapped Hans Zimmer to come up with a wholly unique electric sound and Dodge went with kind of a electronic version of a Hemi. I’d like to see more composers…
Right next to the button to switch it from eco to sport mode, there will be a button that reads "loud noises" press and hold to mimic revving or press it twice to play a pre set rev from the playlist.
Imposing that sound on everyone around them is the number 1 feature that buyers of Challengers and Camaros, and to a lesser extent Mustangs, are after. It’s more important than speed, power or anything else.
The question I have is how do you “free rev” an electric car like they did in the video without having a clutch to decouple the motors from the axles? Is it a separate “noise pedal”? Is there a “rev” button you push that allows you to press the “go pedal” and only make noise while maintaining the current speed? Is it…
Being a nuisance to everyone around you is one of the core pillars of the Dodge ownership experience though!
It’s a cool gimmick, but a gimmick nonetheless. I wish they’d just embrace their new EV identity. If Dodge wants V8 sounds, then they should keep making V8 coupes and sedans.
I said it in the other article - route that sound to a set of speakers in the driver’s headrest so they can enjoy it without it being a nuisance to everyone else around you.
I got a ticket for doing 52 km\h in a 40 last week on a red light / speed camera. That is less than 8mph over the speed limit.
Thanks Toronto.
Y’all have predicted 12 of the 0 sub prime auto crisis over the past 7 or so years. Seriously, here’s an article I found, from all the way back in 2015: https://jalopnik.com/equifax-denies-sub-prime-loan-bubble-says-loans-improv-1686526590
Well, now we know what the next GOP talking point is going to be:
Ah yes, more folks are working and have a bit more money than they have in 30+ years so now inflation is our fault. Not the price gouging and stock buy backs, or the PPP loan forgiveness, it’s the regular folks who’ve been scraping by for decades.
Bold move touting the hoffmeister kink after removing it from some of their cars.
