This fellow has come about as close as any I've heard to making a model V8 engine sound like the full size version.

I really like the sound of it.

I wonder if the unique sound is related to sending the exhaust through the flywheel spokes? Similar in principle to the way a siren works.

It's those four into one headers..... :big:
 
Beautiful sound. Having said that I am biased towards the sound a V8 makes even if I do not own one. As my youngest daughter tells me : "Dream on".

Sorry, but to me it sounds allot like the old VW Beetles. Definitely not a "healthy" V8 in my opinion.

-Bob
 
Sounds almost like a flathead ford, has a similar burble to it. I would think that the heavy flywheel has to be a contributing factor because it makes it idle slow and doesn't allow it to rev up fast like all the model gas V8s do. I would like someone on the forum to get one of their model gas v8s and put a big heavy flywheel on it and see if they can get it to idle and rev like its big brother.

Thanks, Ranger

look up Steves thread on his V8 and you'll see what he means
;D
 
Steve-

It's got a Fogger besides the blower?

Bob
 
I saw the plate with all the lines; that's why I asked. It looks like a Pro-Street style car. Did you ever run it or is it more of a boulevard cruiser / car show kind of thing?
 
It's better that way (Street car). Less breakage and you don't have to make the suspension and everything else "work" harmoniously.
