Who hears a car with an exhaust and runs to the window, turns the head, or runs outside to see what kind of car it is? Seriously, I know this is a lame topic, but I am curious here.

haha, no you deffinately arent the only one. when its warm out, i'll go outside at night around 11:30, when class lets out of school and watch my street become a dragway. I go to an automotive college, so everything thinks they drive a racecar.

perhaps i'm the only one but i hate the sound of loud mufflers, i'm more of an engine sound loving kind of guy. ever drive behind a ferrari? i particularly love the sound of a whizzing compressor wheel.
in my city, there is a large ratio of import enthusiasts in relation to our population, so i hear the sound of raspy exhausts everytime i leave the house and it gives me a headache.

I prefer the sound of a good intake to the sound of a raspy exhaust. But I still look to see what is making the raspy noise I'm praying that one day it won't just be another beat up Civic, but instead a well-built car. And my efforts paid off the other day when I found out a guy in my town now owns an Evo X.

Every time i hear an exhaust I always look, but usually its some crap car... so I basically lost hope in seeing something spectacular... Though it does happen on rare occasion. But yeah I like the sound of an engine waaaay more than an exhaust...
Kinda funny though, I work in a very busy area and every time a car drives by with an annoying exhaust (which is like 5+ times a day...) a girl I work with shouts "RICE! RICE!" But then you go see her car and it has an exhaust thats just as big and annoying as the cars driving by... haha This post has been edited by CelicaBuddy: Jan 24, 2009 - 2:48 AM -------------------- 2003 Nissan Murano SE |

Why do you even need to go outside and look? You should be pro enough just to know what kind of car it is just by the sound.

Your not the only one with that problem, I used to Run out and MAKE sure it was not my CAR running. I am right there with you Why do you even need to go outside and look? You should be pro enough just to know what kind of car it is just by the sound.

I used to work around the corner from Speedtech, the crew who built my motor when they weren't busy with serious machinery, they would do their test runs right past my window - serious machinery, seriously often, and i never got sick of it.
