YouTube - V8 turbo engine high rpm sounds amazing

Mr Void · 07 Jul 2007, 01:36 am

nice!! Doesn't quite sound like 10,000rpm to me nut then again I haven't heard many V8's sit on 10k rpm before.... impressive though

static · 07 Jul 2007, 02:39 am

very nice sound

EH! · 07 Jul 2007, 07:30 am

tats awsome... manifold glowing red too...
does sound like a V8 must be hard to get it to rev that hard though... most V8s can't do that

v8s running way more than 10000 rpm.... champ car engines 7 pounds of boost i believe

vaf0r · 09 Jul 2007, 04:21 pm

Nascar motors spin to 10k also

Most american cars dont need to spin to the moon to make big power. The old adage "RPM = Ruins peoples motors" has an element of truth to it. While advances in materials/technology have allowed higher redlines than in the past, you cant get around the fact that all things being equal:

higher operating speed = higher stress = lower reliability = lower life.

yes thats soo true... kinda figures why most american V8's last so long is becuase most of them only redline up to 5500rpm and they sound like shit at that rev...have lots of torque... but it's also on the builder

Oh really? Maybe you are thinking trucks, but modern performance v8's, which is what I assumed you were talking given that this is a site to discuss racing etc rev higher than that.

Redlines
Chevrolet LS7 = 7000 rpm
Ford 4.6 Cobra = 7000 rpm
Chevrolet LS6 = 6500 rpm
Chevrolet LS2 = 6500 rpm
Dodge 6.1 Hemi = 6400 rpm
Chevrolet LS1 = 6000 rpm

Its subjective, but I think most ppl would agree that american thunder at WOT 5500 rpm sounds pretty amazing. I would take that over any fart can 4 banger at 10k rpm in a heartbeat.

At least you got one thing right... but you forgot lots of hp too.

UKunt · 10 Jul 2007, 12:23 pm

maybe he was compairing american v8s to other v8s ferrari ect????.

i like a high reving car/bike no matter if it has 1,2,4,6,8,10,12 pistons.a engine screaming its ass off sounds awesome at high revs .IMO

EH! · 10 Jul 2007, 05:17 pm

haha no sorry wasn't specific there.. i was talkin bout older truck V8's... like 350's don't rev that high and don't have a very high top speed (but thats the gearing ratios) just lots of low torque...
but yeah the newer american V8's rev higher...
then the exotics are crazy with what they can do

JohnnyWash1 · 11 Jul 2007, 06:04 pm

You have got to be kidding. That was not at 10K rpms. The description is hyperbole--read it again. That was probably 6-7K.
