Mr Motivator Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) Well?Why?Are they running on some sick high octane fuel or something? Or is it just their exhaust system and induction? Edited December 13, 2005 by Sam@SouthTrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philth Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Because it's not only a completely built motor, but they have a big ass turbo on them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Car setup. The exhaust pipe has something to do with it though.Basically, when the Ford world rally team (for example) want the new '06 Ford shell which will suit them best, they order it, strip EVERYTHING out of it and put in new everything from engine to dashboard. So basically, the reason why they sound so sexual and manly is because it's not a stock engine. Far from it. The Mitsibushi Evo VIII is £30k but the rally verson is half a million. Probably because the engine is made out of carbon fibre (well, mostly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmt_oli Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I seriously doubt theres much carbon fibre in the engine! (if any for that matter, maybe around the engine, but no as part of it)yes, its because they have very highly tuned engines and exausts designed for performance, not noise reduction like productioncars.

Also, even the shell is not a standard car stripped. I think there's less than 1% of the road car components in a world rally car (if that!). There's no composites used in the engine itself, only non structural inlets etc.I think the sound is down to a highly strung, turbo charged engine with very little silencing. The drivers seem to be on the rev limiter half the time too!Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

011001000110010101110010 Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 The also sound like a bag of shit ticking over due to the massive inlet and exhuast stroke on the cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I ask as it's just a totaly different sound to your boy racer exaust, and how damn cool would it be to drive a rally car round town I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if any for that matter, maybe around the engine, but no as part of itI didn't mean it quite like that, I menat more of the edges i.e. where there is heavy lumps plastic in this engine (mainly on the right), in World Rally spec, that would be carbon fibre.Also, even the shell is not a standard car stripped.If you're telling me that Ford give them a modified shell in any form, nah. The best selling vehicle in America is the Ford F-150. It has been for 22 years. In America's en top selling car list, there are three fords; 1st, 6th and 8th. That is alot of cars. When Ford 'award' their rally team their Rally car, it is cheaper for Ford to give them a completed car instead of disrupting their manafacturing line and giving them a shell, then starting up again. So, yes, the rally team does have to strip the car down themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All panels are repressed to the designs put forward by the rally team, based on the external dimensions of the road car, with a 1% tolerance. That doesn't happen on the standard car production line though. They definately do not start with the road car.Dave Edited December 11, 2005 by monkeyseemonkeydo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 they play 'crazy frog' inside the car really loud. like the boy-racer "woosh" speakers for that turbo feel, but cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick_spider Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Depends what sort of car you're on about. A Road Rally Car? Or a WRC spec car?Generally it'll be the exhaust, induction and gearbox noise.I love the sound of a MkII escort with a nice straight cut box One day....Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body is also modified for strength and weight saving.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car does it if you catch it at the right revs and blip the throttle....its hardly a rally car though!The majority of the sound people associate with rally cars will be the turbo whistle. A gorgeous sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
