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. There is a video of one on YouTube entitled ‘Shonky and the V8 soundracer’. Go watch it. I wish all the dumb a$$ kids would just buy one of these instead of putting fart cans on their civics.

Ok, cool idea… poorly executed. Tuning to a station that the signal from the unit would broadcast on was simple. The sound however doesn’t sound much like an engine, nor does it sync up well with the RPM of the actual engine in the car.
The unit itself feels like it will fall apart in your hands, the box it came in is more sturdy that the thing itself.
To be honest, I feel cheated… don’t waste your money!

The Soundracer works as advertised, it is a BLAST! It has an extreme high fun factor gadget. It’s not for Hybrids and not for a few known cars that have been tested not to work properly, it’s all based on the electrical system.
In my Audi A3, it works like a champ, I absolutely love it. just like the many youtube videos that are available you can watch to get an idea of what it’s like. The previous reviewer obviously has a car that the Soundracer did not work properly, and for $40, I guess he’s expecting something made of gold.

I was kind of excited about this silly little gadget, considering I was looking to use it for a bit of fun on my month-old Mercedes E350 Coupe’, not a low end beater! I had had a similar idea about 6-7 years ago, and I was thrilled and bemused to see someone actual carry out something like this, I thought it was a cool little gadget.
When the package arrived today, I immediately read the instructions on how to sync the device to the car’s FM radio, and the engine revolutions. The instructions are simple and easy to follow enough, no complaints there. The device easily synced with my FM stereo, and the idling was fine. It also seemed to sync-up when I revved up the engine, per instructions. However, as soon as I started pressing the accelerator again, the device starting revving up and never followed the engine up or down, getting “stuck” on the same engine level at around 3,000 rpm. I repeated the procedure a couple of times, same results. I then tried it on my other car, a Toyota Echo: same results exactly. I had ordered two of these (the V-8 and the V-10), and they both behaved in the same way. On top of that, frankly the sound itself is pretty fake and “electronic”, it does not have the depth and tonality of a real engine.. it’s sounds tinny and “synthetic”, which of course it is.
So all in all, even though I’m still amused at the ingenuity of the inventors, I am disappointed that neither of these worked for me, and will be returning both units.
