Rev Your ’90 Geo Metro Up to V-10 Power With SoundRacer

Stuck in a dull commuter car while dreaming of redlining in a Ferrari California? SoundRacer can’t help you that much with speed, performance or status, but it can make your ‘practical’ subcompact sound likes it’s packing a V-8 or V-10 (to you anyway).

The not-so-useful device plugs into your cigarette jack and taps into your FM radio, blasting the throaty grumble of a bigger, more manly engine all over your speakers.

So basically, you know you’re driving a beat-up junker, everyone around you is well aware of this fact, but somehow if you squeeze your eyes shut just enough, you can transport yourself to a happier place.

While it might not be the end-all solution in its current form, similar technology will likely be used to give others a warning of oncoming hybrids and electrics. As we’ve seen recently, the quiet stalkers are becoming quite a problem. Check out the demo in the video below. [via Motor Authority]
