Is there anything sexier sounding than a 4 rotor? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Random vids compiled. I've never liked the sounds of regular 2-3 rotor rotaries, but when you get 4 rotors in there, it just seams like there is some magic that happens. Best sound outside of F1 that you could actually "afford" to put in a car.

"afford" meaning sell your house to build one engine.

I agree, Don't like the sound of my own car all that much. I do like the sound of a three rotor though. When I hear a three rotor car in person they sound so damn different. Sounds almost like thats they way they where supposed to be made.

4 rotors are hot to. I would love to hear one in person. They sound amazing in vids.

They cost way to much money to build, but if I came across some cash I would definetly build one.

I will have a three rotor in my life atleast.

That is insane sounding.

I wonder how LONG that becomes with 4 rotors on there??

that saab sounds badass! but the 4 rotor sounds G L O R I O U S..haha

TurboTagTeam · 10-28-2006, 03:02 PM

A scoot RX-7 with that motor in it actually owned the track record a tsuba for awhile. I've though about doing a 3 rotor, it's cool and all but it's do much power for our little ass cars.

i think they all sound kinda bad....just my opinion.

012.5RS · 10-28-2006, 07:07 PM

not bad, but I prefer either the sound of a STI w/ a cobb 3" turbo back exhaust and above that the loud low bellowing tone of a 461ci pontiac stroker motor with dual 3" flowmasters(which is going in my trans am)... but thats just me.

den9 · 10-29-2006, 12:43 AM

The time was 8.22, but I think the speed (282) was in KPH. Either way, it's very un-slow.

a-mazing
