My mates 5.0 V8 Sierra...

[Mr Burns]

Boy and girls, this is how your car should sound...



Engine robbed from a Ford Mustang.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

That'd do !

 

[Joe#]

 

[welshname]

WANT!

 

[RDH]

Over the orchestra that is the 1*2 engine note? No thanks.

 

[Mr Burns]

With mates like these can you understand why I'm bored of a Honda Civic??

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

What numpty films in 'portrait'... :rasp:

 

[welshname]

I can understand why you're bored of the civic in general. Get yourself something you enjoy instead!

 

[DaveDreads]

Proper gurgle, good noise.

Any pics of it Ste?

 

[Mr Burns]

People who want to capture sound?

 

[Adamm.]

Awesome noise.

It's not finished yet. He said he'd rather me take SLR pics of it once it's on the road, which will be in the next couple of weeks.

 

[mad pierre]

 

[Gouldy]

That sounds fantastic.

 

[aucky]

That sounds ANGRY!

Sweet!!!

I'll keep an eye on this thread then mate, sounds like it'll be a monster. :evil:

 

[Mr Burns]

Yeah, he's a fellow redneck... He's planning on painting it satin black and driving it this summer, then taking it back off the road again to twin-turbo it. He does everything himself, clever guy.

 

[The Boosh!]

What's it look like?

 

[Mr Burns]

What's it look like?

It's a 3dr Cosworth body.

 

[g.cameron]

Wow. Had my volume up full without realising,

Just about shat myself..

 

[The Boosh!]

It's a 3dr Cosworth body.

Pics?

 

[Mr Burns]

As I said to Dave Dreads, I'll get some with my DSLR when it's on the road. It looks a bit sorry for itself at the moment.

 

[Clart]

Nice.

So is this!

[Mr Burns]

I know what I'd spend £14k on tomorrow!

 

[Goodj]

Bravo that man.

EDIT: 14k would get me my Smartuki Roadster-Coupe.

Trading off cubes for revs

 

[warwickstingray]

Didn't ford make a v8 sierra? It was the xr8 I think maybe in south Africa? Can't remember for sure and can't be arse to search the net to check.

 

[Mr Burns]

They did yeah, this one has been converted.

 

[Adam.P]

Wow, sounds awesome!

 

[Russ_16v]

sounds lovely

 

[warwickstingray]

Cool! Using the xr8 as a guide or from scratch?

I love the sound of a v8 but I also really miss the sound of a b16 being wrung round a track with me being the one poking it into the happy zone!

Vtec is quite addictive, although it's nothing compared to a loud V8 IMO. This has been built from scratch I believe.

 

[warwickstingray]

Nice! I'm happy either way both are acceptable ways to go quickly with great noises as far as I'm concerned. Bet the noise catches people off guard

The video doesn't quite catch just how loud the car is. It's LOUD! lol

 

[warwickstingray]

Used to have a 7.0l ac cobra replica in the car club I do sprints with I can imagine the chest rattling volume! Was always worth a trip to the start line to hear it launch and catapult up the first straight! Similarly a vtec lump with a good exhaust used to make all the right noises down the back straight. You can't beat a good engine sound for putting a smile on your face.

Latest Yamaha R1 with the crossplane crank type thing is another great noise.

Indeed, I quite like the sound of a nice straight-six too!

 

[chriscummins7]

LOL! Sounds incredible

 

[warwickstingray]

Standing up on the bank above camp corner at combe and hearing an e46 m3 giving it the beans was a noise definitely worth hearing. May have been a csl it was indecently quick! Back on topic is the sierra now a really quick car or is it purely for noise and effortless torque?

I think it's running approximately 230bhp, but with it being a V8 and very light it goes quite well. I'll be interested to see how it compares to my Type-R.

 

[warwickstingray]

Is that 230 at 4500 or 5000 rpm in typically lazy v8 fashion? Would be interesting to compare! Sledgehammer vs scalpel

Phwoar.
