Product Description

Imagine starting up your modern, boringly silent car and the interior is filled with the thrilling sound of a powerful Super Sports Car engine... SoundRacer fitted into cigarette lighter socket. Shift in the first gear, hit the gas pedal and the driving experience will really excite you! In every phase of driving - accelerating, decelerating, shifting, cruising and idling - the sound is so convincing that it actually fools your senses to believe that you are driving the real thing, a Super Sports Car! And when you prefer to listen to your favorite music, just plug in your MP3 player and the music will sound loud and clear in your car stereo system. No installation, no tuning, just plug into the cigarette lighter socket, select a frequency for the car stereo receiver and turn up the volume. It's yours for just a little more than a standard Car FM Transmitter and your car will never be boring again. SoundRacer works on most car models in the world, also diesel and FlexiFuels. Automatic transmission is no problem either. Check the SoundRacer Listed Cars for compatibility.

Lots of Fun! April 16, 2010

First of all, I have a 4 cyclinder sports car with a killer sound system. With the top down and the sound up, it sounds like it's coming from the engine.

The device is simple to plug in, calibrate and use. It tracks my RPMs perfectly.

Warning, if you do NOT have a GREAT sound system, do not buy this. I turned the bass all the way down and it just does not have the same effect.

Yes, it's a little flimsy.
Yes, sometimes it doesn't work right.
But when it does work, it is AWESOME! And most of the time it works fine up until the point I get tired of it and turn it off.

Here is what seems to work the best for me. Wait until you start the car to plug it in (I assume you've already tuned your radio, etc.)

Slowly start rev'ing the car up to 3000 rpms. As soon as you hear a single beep, back off the revs, then you should hear 2 beeps and you're good to go.

As far as plugging your mp3 player into it, that works too, but sounds like FM. I get better sound using a cassette adapter but this works too in a pinch.

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. For best results try several FM stations with no signal until you find one with very little static. This helps for when you turn up the volume. I think this is the best $40.00 I have ever spent!

Awesome, near perfect
The SoundRacer is the future in my opinion. As cars continue to be more efficient, the sound quality of their engines will decrease. Read more

Good idea, bad product
I bought this for my brother who drives a Ford E250 Van. He put it in his car tuned to proper frequency and it sounded HORRIBLE not even close to what was advertised. Read more

do not buy sound racer V8
this product either does not work at all or barely works on both my vehicles. definetly a waste of money if you have a car that is 3 years old or less.

Soundracer V8 review
I've got a V8 engine and it works okay. My stock exhaust system is very quiet. With this plugged in the sound effects come thru well. Read more

Even better than I expected
The V8 engine sound was very realistic. Actually it combines a number of different sounds so idling and revving all cound good. Read more

Super V8
Arrived on time. Fun little gadget to play with. Found it worked better on my smaller corolla than
it did on my bigger rig, and it works as advertised. I'm happy with it.

disappointed
I liked the idea but did not even think about it not allowing me to not have music with the nice V-8 rumble. Therefore I returned it.
