This #EV conversion is great. Funny, though, that removing the noise of the combustion engine means " It shows you just how badly cars were built back in the 60s (and 70s and...)... Every time you blitz around a bend, you can hear bits of the car rubbing together, components creaking, and the aches of old age making themselves known" #cars #auto #restoration arstechnica.com/cars/2023/07/a

@ai6yr Yup. Cars with bodies bolted to frames. Rubber bushings everywhere. Everything creaks and groans. The suspension creaks and groans. You ignore all that when you're focused on the engine rumbling. Hahaha.

@shuttersparks This could be fixed, I think, by doing what modern sports cars do: install speakers/subwoofers that pipe in combustion engine noises into the compartment based on how much you are pressing down the accelerator.
