The Art of Car Wire Sound Checks: A Test of Engine Performance

As we prepare to put these cars through their paces, we'll start with an obligatory car wire sound check. But since the engines themselves are identical, we've decided to take it up a notch by revving them together in unison. This will allow us to showcase the unique characteristics of each engine and highlight any differences that may arise.

We're doing this sound check because we want to bring out the distinct voices of these engines. Instead of being three-cylinder engines, they'll sound like six-cylinder engines, thanks to our creative approach. By revving them together, we can create a more engaging experience for our audience and showcase the capabilities of each engine.

As we embark on this experiment, I must admit that I'm feeling a bit apprehensive. Sam's been bragging about his abilities, claiming he can beat me off the line with ease. I've taken him up on that challenge, but I'm not sure if it'll be enough to take down the reigning champion.

The test begins, and we're off! The cars accelerate from 0-60mph in a blur, each engine roaring as they sprint towards the finish line. The results are impressive, with the standard car taking 12.9 seconds to complete the quarter-mile, while the tuned car manages a respectable time of 13.3 seconds.

But that's not all - we're also conducting a rolling race from 30mph in second gear. We'll count it together and see who can maintain their lead throughout the test. This will allow us to showcase our driving skills and see how each car handles under different conditions.

As we begin the rolling race, I'm excited to put my driving skills to the test. I'll focus on maintaining a smooth throttle position and gear shifts, hoping to outmaneuver Sam in this test as well. The results are close, with both cars struggling to maintain their advantage throughout the course of the race.

But wait - we're not done yet! We've also got a brake test lined up, where we'll push both cars to their limits by stopping from 70mph on the track. This will allow us to see which car can handle the most demanding conditions and come out on top.

As we take our positions at the starting line, I can feel the tension building. Sam's been confident all along, but I'm determined to give him a run for his money. The engines roar as we put the pedal to the metal, accelerating from 0-70mph in a matter of seconds. But when it comes time to brake, that's where things get really interesting.

The cars skid and slide across the track, their tires screeching in protest as they desperately try to slow down. But which car can maintain its composure under pressure? We'll have to wait until the end to find out.

As we conclude our tests, I'm left feeling a mix of emotions - frustration, excitement, and a dash of disappointment. While I managed to give Sam a run for his money in many areas, there's one thing that sets him apart: his ability to navigate wet conditions with ease. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't match his skills on the track.

But don't worry - we won't be dwelling on the losses here. Instead, we'll focus on showcasing the unique characteristics of each car and providing you, our readers, with a deeper understanding of what sets them apart.

will sound exactly the same and they do sound a little bit new i'm going to try and enhance it by revving them together so instead of being three cylinder engines we've now got a six cylinder engine sort of maths right sam let's just rev up these cars together just as much as you like let's make a noise why are we doing this i don't know because we can well he definitely did a job a larger than me but now i'm coming can i beat him yeah i can well you definitely beat me off the line i'll give you that by quite some margin but then clawed things back for my bad start i thought i was clear and free down the road and then i just looked to my left and saw you cruising by me with a big happy face very disturbing well getting beaten on my happy face or the combination of the two a definite combination can i have another go because i reckon i can beat you by even more i don't just want to beat you i want to crush you three two got him got it got it got it got it got it i beat you off the line and didn't fluff any gears it all went swimmingly well for me how about for you yeah seemed good i was happy with it so then what exactly happened well the tune gi yaris did the standing quarter mark in 12.9 seconds whereas the standard car took 13.3 seconds okay now we're gonna have a rolling race from 30 miles an hour in second gear i'm gonna count it in and try and manage this and gear shifts and everything okay three two one go come on that picks up quicker flat shifting oh there's not much in it keep on going now pulling yeah pulling there's not loads in it but this doesn't have loads more torque but it is enough to just get ahead of you and beat you no no no from my point of view it did seem very very different yours seemed much quicker it might not look that from your side but for mine it really is noticeable you can see it i actually thought yours picked up a little bit quicker though for the first like few meters you were ahead and then i'll just be you i don't know that throttle position red position be anything within second gear and 30 mile an hour i could have had higher revs or a little bit lower that's a bit hard to judge don't spoil the illusion with facts let's do something else okay now rolling race this time from 50 miles an hour in third gear i'm gonna count it in let's get all our throttles in the same position and stuff like that three two one go they're good at that time yeah look at that little bit extra torque there's your 600 pounds right there sir there you go oh there's the end of the runway you might have been right with all the throttle positions and boost and blah blah blah blah yawn because that time this picked up a little bit quicker yeah and i absolutely nailed all my shifts and you're still falling away so that's very frustrating i think i'm just going to spend the money screw always having ability money fixes everything well it kind of does but what it doesn't fix is a warranty because as soon as you put a tune on it warranty gone we're doing a brake test 70 miles an hour full emergency stop it's going to load here there we go that side of the track has more grip doesn't it yeah and i won piss off it's pointless it does because it's right there tend to win when it's wet when it's dry it doesn't matter anyway i hope you all enjoyed the video if you did please give it a like if you want to check out
