Appalachained Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I like the sound of Ford’s flat plane crank with the higher revs it affords. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann6 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Saleen S7R followed by a couple C5Rs. The C5Rs were so much louder in person than the S7. The Lola Judd (37 car) sounded great in person as well. Panoz LMP01. The only ford I loved the sound of. Was even louder than the 7 liter C5s. Felt it as much as heard it. I got to hear this one at daytona in 2002. In the middle of the night it echoed back and forth across the grandstands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueiron Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 A Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine in both the F6F Hellcat and the F4U Corsair for piston engines. The General Electric J-79 Turbojet engine in the USAF F-104 Starfighter and the Marine Corps F-4B Phantom II. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 3.6 Liter air cooled Porsche flat six. Nothing special at idle but wonderful unique sound at st speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 A Hennessey Twin Turbo Ferrari 458. '69 Z/28 Stage II at 7200 rpm. Pontiac RA IV. Maserati Bora. Whether flat or cross plane I flat out prefer the "wrong" sound of a V8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Black Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 An oddball favorite of mine. Tanner Foust's custom Volkswagen Passat with an LSX and very interesting hand built 8 into 1 exhaust. It just screams. It may be clear in my past post that I am an all V8 sounds guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there ever been a car model that someone hasn't dropped in an LS? I've seen one in a Scion FRS and a Miata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Black Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I think one of the more radical street driven LS swaps I've seen is Subaru WRX bodystyle. Rear wheel drive conversion. I really don't care for Subarus at all but that is pretty cool swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F14Scott Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Scott, surely the F-14A had an APU, no? Is testing the air refueling probe a normal part of the after engine start checklist? How long can an A sit at static ground idle? You guys ever have a problem with the air refueling probe doors departing the aircraft and vanishing when deployed going just a tad too fast? No internal APU. We needed a huffer and electrical to start; we couldn't start on our own. All our XCs had to be to .mil fields. Yes, we would test the probe before every flight. The A had no restrictions on time at idle. I've done it for at least an hour at the hold short when a JMSDF P-3 kicked the arresting cable out of battery. Having something break off and go down the motor was the biggest fear of A2A refueling. The probe itself was very strong, but the panels of the fuselage's skin affixed to it were prone to getting torn off, so much so that some squadrons would remove them at the boat, since tanking happens so often, there. The basket, especially from the KC-135, whose hose was short and rigid, was also very dangerous. I don't recall the doors ever coming off just from flying; it was always a refueling event gone bad.

tous Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Thanks, amigo. I apologize for being a pain. I have to wonder why the F-14 had no APU. It wasn't new, untested technology. Edited July 8, 2018 by tous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
