More Motor Music

In case you missed the comment on my last post, Doug passed along a wonderful website for those of you who love the sound of engines. You'll find it below.

Here is another little video on guys in Aus playing around with 500 cc 2 stroke twins.




How about a Hayabusa V8 in a Lotus 7 for a short blast.



Here's one for Ken and Steve. Its a Hayabusa V8 in a Radical on the Nordschleife of the Nurburgring. The sound is great but the visual speed is amazing, even if the picture is a little blurry.



Two questions.

1. What is so compelling about these sounds? Maybe the answer is that somehow they sound like a powerful animal. Maybe the growl of a big cat.
2. What do we do when car and bikes are electric or hybrid?
