Now, what if I told you that you wouldn’t actually be getting any extra performance to go along with that sound? If you’re still interested in this shady deal, then you’re probably a poseur. In any case, you’ll want to check out the SoundRacer. > > The device plugs into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter, where it uses fluctuations in the power flow to calculate your engine’s RPM. It then broadcasts a fake engine note to your car’s stereo via an FM transmission. The general idea is for your vehicle to sound like it’s powered by a V-8 or V-10 engine, but I predict that the outcome will probably sound like a crappy, fake revving played through crappy speakers on top of your car’s already crappy existing engine note. Of course, your mileage may vary. > > The best part is that if you keep your windows rolled up, no one will know that you’re riding around pretending to be driving a V-10 Aveo. Nice! ---

What would be funny is to change the broadcast to a popular radio station like 98.5 and increase the power to override the signal in other cars… kind of like what people used to do with mr microphone back in the 80’s ---
