Title: Engine Sounds & Power We Like
Post by: Charlie747 on March 22, 2014, 03:46:24 PM
Just thought that the interest shown in the sound of F1 by Bryn could be a regular open ended thread so allowing me or anyone else to not fall foul of the  :offtopic: police ..............so if anyone has a favourite motor here's were to post it..............

Getting us started is Kall's next company van thingy truck with 1400bhp and a pants pulling 4278lbs/ft. of torque (remember a GTR has 100lbs/ft.)

For officers of the law  :police: you need to tick the box marked black smoke on the GV9  :mfr_lol:

For fans of the RR Merlin a start up and fly by in a P51D..............a plane manufactured to British specifications and originally  fitted with an Allison motor that limited this fine airframe to low altitude work the plane only obtaining iconic status equal to the Spitfire with the arrival of the P51D model and the fitment of RR Merlin power plant

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdy17GmkpWc

The RR Griffin followed the Merlin with bigger power potential and a deeper but similar sound track fitted to a Firefly in this case

As F1 motors go it takes a lot to beat 1500cc V16 600bhp and tiny tyres

Its not only race machines that can howl  :mfr_lol:

How a K1600 should sound  :popcorn:

Now this should be FUN

Now I've started us off lets see what we all can find  :mfr_lol:

Great videos .... can you imagine what it's like a new trainee pilot in the RAF for instance when you move onto fast jets and fire one of those up for the first time ? Horny or what ?  :yes:

Many thanks for the vids posted there  :clap: 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  :clap:, she waved and the Lancaster dipped it's wings  :punk: a very special moment indeed.  :biker3:

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)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHskbGqoFNc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHskbGqoFNc)

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!!!  :hammer: :punk: :clap: :banana:

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)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN2gYduKeW0

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

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3AG-JsjoyA

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.
