Engine Sounds & Power We Like

[Charlie747]

Many thanks for the vids posted there  some emotional and evocative sounds there.

I remember many moons ago travelling along the boring A17 one summers day on my zzr11 with my now ex-wife as pillion, we heard the noise then looked up and the Battle of Britain flight was overhead so low we could read the markings  , she waved and the Lancaster dipped it's wings  a very special moment indeed. 

Moments like that are unique priceless memories.......................lump in throat time

But what a fun car

For sound you can't beat the fastest wheeled sport in the world!
0 - 386Mph in 3.58 seconds in 1000 feet (no longer run over the full 1/4 mile (1320ft) as the tracks cannot handle the speeds they were reaching)

I've seen US spec TopFuel cars on 7 separate occasions and the noise is so powerful you feel it more than you hear it.
But then that's what you get running a supercharged 10 litre V8 motor on nitromethane.
UNLEASH THE 8,000Bhp!!!

The sound is awesome and from that camera angle you realize just how dam quick top fuel rails are ...............................would love to get a fix like that

They're all very well Charlie but where would you put your shopping and they done even come with panniers.

Are you trying to tell me that they don't come with cup holders for my G&T ?

I am a big fan of the sound of a RR Merlin. But the sound of a big round engine has its appeal too.

B-36 Peacemaker (the video does not do it justice as far as the sounds)

B-36s at Lakenheath back in the 50s.  3800HP x 6  and 4 x 5200lbs thrust

My dad was on a TDY to Lakenheath (RB-36s, he was a crew chief), when he met my mom.  B and RBs made visits to Greenham Common, Upper Heyford, and possibly Sculthorpe during the 50's.
