How your car sounds? (aka small video competition)

Post by jtbo »

I like car sounds, quite a lot actually, it is actually one of main reasons why I like cars so much.

Of course I would like to hear how yours does sound like, from inside a car, so don't stick camera out from window, that will pick only wind sound :lol:

I thought that it would be interesting to see what kind of videos you can come up with, probably almost anyone has some device which can record video, laptop with webcam can be used too (have done that with Celeron 366 powered laptop). If you can get file out of your recording device, I'm pretty sure we can convert it to video, so that will not be a problem.

So let's see what kind of videos you can come up with subject sound, if this picks up maybe we can have video competition along side of photo competition? Let's test concept first ;)

You can upload videos to youtube, photobucket and who knows where, here is my attempt from this subject in youtube:

Comments, ideas, any one saying even hello? :mrgreen:

Nope, it is Pontiac, but there is practically not much difference at all, some minor details and motor is from Olds, previous owner has done some stuff to it, there are no silencers at all, which explains the sound :wink:

Kaos your motor sounded lovely man :) I was interested to see what a valver sounds like (im rather jealous as im a complete novice with anything car related and thats a nice vehicle you had there) what happened to it? (sos for the questions/numerous postes etc :oops: )
:( Im currently awaiting the verdict on my 360-its being looked at by a friend of the family who is a body specialist-i think that if my 360 doesnt pass then i may well go for a 340 and eventually go the valver route :340:
