Re: Proving Grounds 2011 feedback?
I agree with spazz about those NA rotaries. So insanely loud for such meh times ran.
The only time i saw people plugging their ears was when those cars were rolling up to the line. Top fuel cars are loud, sure! They also trap over 300mph. The NA rotaries in question were trapping ~113mph and destroying ears. Just my opinion, but i wouldn't shed a tear if they didnt come back. |
Re: Proving Grounds 2011 feedback?
I also wouldn't shed a tear if they were crushed, I've seen it ever since i've seen those things.
Even the 4-wheeler those guys were driving around was stupid loud and sounded like shit. Its loud AND sounds like shit, i think if it was just loud it wouldn't be bad. |

Re: Proving Grounds 2011 feedback?
Guessing not much has changed since I took this video 2 years ago? I actually have another video where the thing dies at the line and every spectator in the place starts clapping and cheering.

Puerto Rico must have a steep embargo on mufflers.

They sound like loppy chain saws/weed whips. to a rotary fan, they sound awesome.... to others they sound like crap. They are definitely stand up guys. The owner of the white car does a lot of work on my cars. I really trust him with anything I own. He assembled the motor in my Z, as well as my buddy's G35 (twin turbo setups). I just think it's dumb people are complaining about loud cars at a race track.... regardless of how fast or slow they are. Anything can be fast, just about how much money you are willing to spend. They have car cars that run in the 8's and they have cars in the 12's and 13's. so if the 8 second car was the loudest one, it would be OK? like I stated before, lighten up and let's all have a good time |

It's a race track, its a race car (well kinda, its slow, lol) so who gives a shit how loud it is. Bring ear plugs next time I guess :) |
Re: Proving Grounds 2011 feedback?
The guy in the brown car damn near blew my ear drum out, classy dude. :(
Two years ago, putting by in the pits, gets right next to me exhaust on the side and blips the throttle. Sent me reeling and he was grinning. Douche bag right there. It's a race track, there will be loud cars but whoever was in the car that day can diaf. |
Re: Proving Grounds 2011 feedback?
Was it really that loud? Maybe if I heard this thing I would hate it too. I've heard some loud cars though haha.

Re: Proving Grounds 2011 feedback?
Some rotarys sound awesome with a muffler and with out. But that thing sounds like crap. Amd the car is a little louder then it should. Its loud like its a 8 sec car that runs 13s.

Anyways, pretty sure about 2% of the people here actually like the clown car class, even if the majority of them are as loud as 7 sec race cars should be and run 13's-14's. I plan on swinging by Show-n-Go today, I'm sure nothing there will be nearly as obnoxious and they will all be faster LOL |

There is absolutly no reason for that car to be that loud. A 3-4 inch exhaust with a straight through muffler like most of us use wouldnt make it lose any power. who knows a little backpressure might help things out. Those guys also kind of rubed me the wrong way when they were changing cars around in the staging lanes so they could race each other. they made me stop when I was going to go. then the brown car launched broke and had to be pushed back. Then they had to check the track for oil. |
