I happened to stumble across a YouTube video of a dodge introduction of their new electric challenger. Apparently, their market differentiator is going to be that they’ve developed a manual transmission for the car, and they’ve developed a proprietary system for it to make very loud “electric motor/combustion motor revving” sounds. You’d have to hear it. It doesn’t sound precisely like an internal combustion engine, but it definitely sounds like someone was trying to synthesize the sound of an internal combustion engine - LOUDLY! If ford offered that kind of sound effect for the Mustang Mach E, would you use it? I sure wouldn’t. It was obnoxious.
No. Just no. Noise pollution days need to be behind us along with the associated dementia in large city mostly tailpipe pollution. I've had numerous occasions where I notice people slowing down or speeding up and rolling down their window just to listen to the absence of what they expect to hear. Time to leave foolish things in the past.

The weird buzzing our cars already do is too much for me.

You can replace the speaker with a resistor and get complete silence. I also hate the horrible fake noises and now mine is perfectly silent. It is so cool listening to the crackle of pebbles as the car silently rolls over them.

That sounds out of my technical skill zone but it’s nice to know it is possible

Because there currently isn’t a car that I want more.

Just because you don’t like something about the car doesn’t mean the solution is “why don’t you sell it…”

The software is buggy, 5 sec limit sucks, but I still enjoy the car despite these things.

Fix those two things and it would be damn near perfect for me. Luckily the software has been getting better.

EVERY car is a compromise.

But if someone else builds a better looking, faster, better driving car for near the same price? Yup, I’ll sell it.

Unfortunately that car doesn’t exist yet.

Now if they can keep the price of the Macan EV GTS reasonable……..
I was looking at the use case of 1500 miles rallies. FWIW, my 2012 Boss 302 was better looking and was much faster on the top end than the GTPE and did quite well on long distance "team speeding" events. If I weren't using the HOV lane, I would have bought another Boss 302.

If you can drop the front undercarriage cover, you are technical enough to do it. But even that is a pain, so totally understand. I put a volume control on mine. That is a lot more involved.

I should have noted *in the same class of vehicle.

IE small electric SUV.

Yes, there are better performance cars for the $$, just not better small SUVs.

I have a bluetooth speaker that can go in the frunk
Can bluetooth speakers be added to the existing car audio? In other words: if I wanted a little boost of bass in my frunk, can I just connect a bluetooth speaker and be on my way or is it more complicated than that?

Idk I think they do in wireless household surrounds but not sure of car. Closest I could find you was a JBL Bluetooth speaker that docks in the car and can come out at parties the amp is only 100 w I believe. it’s called JBL BassPro Go but not sure about cars, I think timing would be issue . I have added Punch 10in powered by splicing rear speakers sounds 100% better plus it can be removed per lease. I also have Borla exhaust. That’s another system altogether lol.

In theory you could send the signal that way.

But how would you power the speaker?

Getting the signal to a sub is probably the easiest part of the install. Connecting through Bluetooth would just complicate things.

Hmmm.

I have a Sonos Move 2 lying around I'm thinking about trying to use somehow. I think I can plug it in directly if I get the right stuff. Maybe. Or I may just try to connect it to the car and see what happens. It's a portable and rechargeable speaker @Mach1E.

Will this thing help? 🤣😂

Just kidding of course. But do you remember this thing? I definitely had something like this in my (98?) Mercury Mystique.

If I had an option, I would love a spaceship type propulsion sound that I could toggle on/off. Customizable volume and nothing stupid like the Dodge Disaster.
I vote we go for the “Jetsons” lmao

The portable speaker may work, but I give it a 2% chance it’ll be in sync with your car speakers.

I do remember that tape!
