Best Gas Mileage Cars Can Now Sound Like V8's

Here's the problem: You wanted one of the best gas mileage cars on the market so you bought yourself a mega efficient small car. Your new 3 cylinder engine doesn't sound like much though, and you're 5 short of the gurgling V8 you've always desired but could never justify, both financially and ethically. There is now a solution to your problem. Its called SoundRacer.

SoundRacer makes any car sound like a V8. So now even the best gas mileage cars can sound like a 6 liter sports car. The product plugs into the 12 volt outlet in your car and transmits a signal which you pick up with your car radio. According to the company, 'the SoundRacer senses your car engine RPM's and matches it with just the right V8 sound effects. Whether you're accelerating, decelerating, shifting gear, cruising the highway or idling, you'll think you're driving a genuine V8'. Hmmm, somehow I think not. I would think, 'whats that annoying tinny engine noise coming from my speakers'.

The SoundRacer is manufactured in Sweden. I must say I can't really see it taking off. Maybe a few teenagers will buy this gimmick for their first car for a bit of entertainment but I think the novelty will wear off in about 2 days. I think it would be quite embarrassing to drive around in a Mazda 2 that emits sounds from the window like a V8. And what about the fact that your car doesn't GO like a V8. If anyone wants to make their best gas mileage cars sound like a V8, the solution is out there for you.
