Gizmag.com Call me childish, but I reckon this is one of the best gadgets I've seen in years. The SoundRacer plugs into the cigarette lighter socket of your boring family car, then sends an FM signal to your car stereo that makes your car sound like a roaring V8, faithfully matching revs and basically making the meekest of cars feel like a monster truck. So you can enjoy a ribald hoon factor from the driver's seat without looking or sounding like a petrolhead to passers-by or the local constabulary. We had a blast making the demo video
I just wanted to tell you what a great product that Soundracer is. I got it this evening, plugged it into my VW TDI wagon and took off. It was great. I drove around with a big smile on my face for an hour. I just love it and I'm sure I will be ordering more.
I received the Soundracer V8 this Christmas as a present. I plugged it into my 1997 Toyota Rav4 with 5 speed manual transmission. It works awesome. My 13 year old son was with me on my first use. He said “Dad, slow down. You’re going way too fast!”. I was only in 2nd gear.
YouTube I've just bought one of these and haven't stopped smiling. Absolutely brilliant!!! I just can't believe how good it is for the money and it can route my iPod through to the stereo.
My name is …, Director of product Management .for … inc. I think your soundracer product is a work of genius.
Dear Soundracer team, I have tried Soundracer on two cars. Nissan Qashqai 2,0 (2008) and Mercedes ML 3,5 (2000). It is impossible to describe, how funny, cool and amazing it is. I would like to thank all your team for this product.
LatestBuy Customer: I just received my Sound Racer today. Not bad service considering it was shipped halfway around the world. It sounds great. Best novelty I have purchased in a long time!!
Hi, I have a 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, with a 3.4L V6 engine. I bought the V8 version. Syncing to the car is easy and it sounded great! I'm glad I bought it.
Wow, what a great product!
Thanks for developing such a fun product.
Worked great in my 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300C. I LOVE it. Good job.
- I had to beat my friends of with a stick - they all want one so I have passed the site on to them so they can purchase it themselves.
Great product that puts big smiles on peoples faces - good job.
It is fantastic – all works. Great fun.
More fun than you can shake a stick at.
Your product is a definite winner.
I use the Soundracer V8 on my Ford Focus 1.8 Tdci Limousine from 2001. It works great !!! Thanks a lot for the invention of this :-))
I think this is hilariuos, great gift idea.
Hi. Got one and am using in a 2003 Pontiac Vibe. This thing is great !!!! Having a lot of fun with it.
Good day, First i would like to congratulate you on this very very cool invention ..
Hi, Just discovered your magnificent Soundracer device through an automotive blog (autoblog.nl), what a great invention.
First of all, congratulations for this exciting invention!!! I’m just having the first contact with the SoundRacer and I can tell you that as an engine addicted I’m very exited to try it on! I deeply understand the reason behind the creation of the SoundRacer, the engine sound means like 50% of the driving pleasure. …im anxious to see my friends face when they get a ride In my new V8!!!
I recently bought a V10-Sound Racer für my Daihatsu Copen L881 1,3 from 03.2007 and it works really fine. Sounds very very impressive! :-))
Fun, Fun, Fun., I have a V-6 Mustang and it now feels like I am driving my 70 Mach-1 which I owned in the Eary 70's. The better your sound system the better the effect will be of the true V-8 Sound. I love it and don't plan on listening to the radio again. I think this is the best $40.00 I have ever spent!
Great fun! This little gizmo is an absolute blast. We tried it in my Father in law's Chrysler Part-Time Cruiser, but it didn't work. Not sure if we set it up right. Then we tried it in his Buick and it worked great- he was driving round the nieghbourhood giggling like a little kid.
Hilarious in my 5 speed Honda CR-V, I bought this as a gift for my nephew's 20th birthday. But before I gave it to him I had 3 days to test it out. ... It worked beautifully and I could not stop laughing as I revved the hell out of my poor old Honda CR-V just to hear it transformed into a hot rod V-8. I took several friends for a ride just to see them crack up. I even took my computer guy for a ride after he fixed my network problem. He loved it and wanted one for himself. Because you are hearing the effect on your speakers, it's kind of like your own little inside secret too, which added to the fun factor. To the outside world, I was in a mild mannered Clark Kent Honda. But inside, I was driving a Pontiac GTO Suuuuuperman with no muffler. I even took this gizmo to work one day when we had to take a road trip and stuck it in the company van, which is anything but a hot rod. Big laughs and a fun drive. ... My nephew loved it as well and I got major brownie points for getting it for him. He had never heard of it or seen one before so it was great to see his reaction.
Awsome sound generator, I saw this item on Utube and purchased it for my 2011 Ford Fiesta. It turned the 1.6L engine into a throaty 5.0L V8. It works very well when you carefully do the initial calibration. What a laugh!
Works on some, not all, Works well on a 2002 Subaru Outback - a real thrill. Doesn't work well on a 2005 Acura TL - unit doesn't sense input signal consistently.
