Nice sounding model V8

[cfellows]

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.

indeed, just wonderful

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.

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

Mine does idle like it's big brother.

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?

 

[stevehuckss396]

Just a street ripper

It's better that way (Street car). Less breakage and you don't have to make the suspension and everything else "work" harmoniously.
