yeah, i'm 17 too...blah. there's another kid who's 17 on the other site that i've talked to. DRecu's cool, but BigBlue on the other hand... . just jokin ;D <br><br>as for the noise, screw those people. if they can't stand the sound of my truck, then they surely can't stand the sound of trailer trucks. and if you stop trailer trucks...you stop our economy.

Standing next to the nozzle of an F-16 doing pressure checks when they go to burner. The engine pulses are so strong, it feels like it makes your heart beat in sync with it. I can't remember the formula to convert thrust to H.P but I think it equates to over 50,000 H.P

Ah yes!!! When I was stationed at McChord AFB, could hear the F15's engines on test stands when they were doing runups. From a mile plus away. An Air Force fighter jet on military launch (not a casual run down the pavement and just lift off into the wild blue yonder, more like mash the gas and scream for altitude. OOOOOORAH) You knew there was power rumbling away in dawn's early bright. ;D ;D ;D ;D<br><br>~Dave

I saw a truck with two Pratt &amp; Whitneys on it here at the local drag strip. That was impressive when he stood on that thing. I can't imagine how those things stay together. He was doing burner pops and blew the windows slam out of one section of the tower.

I owned a home north of McClellend AFB in Sacramento CA Years ago. When those monster Galaxy C5-A's came in to land they would come in low over the house on their final approach. They were so loud you just had to stop talking till they went by.<br> I was selling my home and I was showing this fella the backyard pool area when one of those big planes flew over. I had my back to that guy leading him thru the gate and when I turned to see if he was clear of the gate I saw him in the street running full bore for his car <br> Funny thing was we rarely saw those C-5's just his lucky day I guess ;D The loudest plane I ever heard go over was President Carter in his old 707 Air Force One. When he left the ground they were wide open and not sparing the turbines a bit. Left a black trail trying to get some fast altitude and away from the danger of a possible ground sniper.

I went out and started my truck. I checked under the hood twice to make sure it was running. What kind of noise are you talking about?

TEDHRS

love the noise from the engine as well. Pulled up to a wendy's and the guy asked me to turn it off. Not knowing that i usually do, i responded to him to just give me a couple seconds so i can pull up to the thing. Got me 10% off my order. Go figure that one out!!!

TEDHRS

the only thing that i have heard that sounds just as good or if not better is my friends ride, he is running dual alternators, when he cuts them things on it sounds like a turbine jet engine winding up. Love it.

I'm 16. There nothing like pulling up to stoplight and revving it up next to some little rice rocket. Then letting the black smoke roll when the light turns green. ;D ;D

shortround

To me, the best sound is those old 10 cylinder Fairbanks-Morse opposed piston beasts rolling over on air as we surfaced.<br>Actually, the very best sounding diesels were the V-16 Rolls Royces that our Canadian neighbors ran in their Oberon class boats. Smoother than a babys hiney.

Or an F-4D on final approach over my apartment building in Torrejon Spain. That front-seater would throttle back on approach and those twins in that F-4 would shriek. Couldn't hear yourself think.

[quote author=BigBlue link=board=8;threadid=6176;start=0#56370 date=1035386681]<br>I love the sound of them both. But the one sound that will always be better than a Cummins or Harley, is a high compression, 454 big block with a set of long tubes. That is a sweet sound. What makes it even better is when it has been cammed, and is in a 71 Chevelle. ;D Droooooooooll.<br>[/quote]<br><br>how about a SBC 383 w/ 13.5 to 1 with a set of 1 3/4 primary tube headers, with a cam lob the size of your fist... I just need to walk out to the garage to hear that one.. its for sale... sitting in a 67 Nova
