BRE 240Z on YouTube - bad ass

Featured Replies

I saw a video on YouTube that I think is Ron Carter's BRE-Z replica? If so, what is under the hood that made it sound like that?

If you guys are a fan of "Victory By Design", you are familiar with the awesome roar from the historic cars Alain de Cadenet wrings around. I swear, if I closed my eyes, that BRE-Z sounded exactly the same.

My stock Z sounds like crap in comparison - my E-Type sounds so much cooler, but pales next the BRE-Z!

This thread is useless without information that makes your car sound like that!

Here's some more ear candy-

So to make your Z sound like that you need the following:

triple Mikuni 44's with a 2.4 liter motor with an 11lb fly wheel, with 12.5:1 compression, Z-196 cam and a heavily modified Slover race head...

Feed that into a custom fabricated BRE race header and 2.5" dual exhaust to two custom built bright yellow megaphones and....

You too will have a Z that is so loud that it will wake the dead LOLLOLLOL

PS the second video shown is not my BRE Z, it is Phil Mendelovitz's 240Z.

Ron,

I previously owned 4 Harleys, all with drag pipes, so I have no issue with raising the dead!!! :) Thanks for the info!

Oh, and this is my favorite Alain de Cadenet narration:

Be aware that Alain, and others use some colorful language at the end of this video clip.

Only the Brittish can make cursing sound inoffensive.

Pick that stuff up at my local NAPA, right?
