show of hands, who likes supercharger whine?

[K223]

So far I really like the TRX. Will it be a better truck for me? I guess only time will tell. You’ll never hear me argue that one is better than the other, they each have pro’s and con’s. I liked my Raptor, but I never loved it. I’m not sure that makes any sense unless your a truck or car person.

The whole reason I’ve stuck around here is I appreciate the humor and knowledge everybody has. I’m also eager to learn more about the Raptor R as details come out. I had every intention of ordering a 3rd Gen Raptor before I ordered my TRX, but the lack of a V8 motor (especially a supercharged one) ruined that for me.

That’s cool. Whatever works for each of us. The TRX is intriguing no doubt. It does have its pro’s and con’s but a lot of pro’s from what we hear. Curious to see how the long term goes. I don’t doubt the drivetrain is pretty solid. The R the R. Will Ford finally get this truck done and at what cost and availability for that matter. Stick around and see. Enjoy the new ride!

I loved the whine on my 02 lightning . 93 454ss with wipple and 2010 raptor whipple. Went to louder exhaust on all of them and can't be heard anymore. Ever since seeing mad max when I was kid made my mom take me . Superchargers would be in my life. But I do like the turbos also and it's efficiency over a Supercharger.

Whoever didn’t disable that fake BS sound in Forscan deserves it. It was stupid funny for several weeks then axed it.

So are you enjoying that Hellcat thing? Lol

I never disabled mine because it also disables the noise cancelation.

How is that working out?

I think it's good. I have my stereo on 95% of the time, so I never noticed the piped in engine sound. If I crank the engine, I hear the engine, if I'm taking it easy, I don't. If I hadn't read about the fake engine noise in here, I wouldn't have ever thought about it.

I had a supercharged Nissan Frontier eons ago. I liked the Eaton supercharger noise it made. Dodge's Hellcat motor makes awesome power but it doesn't transfer that power down. I enjoy watching Challenger Hellcat's getting owned by Porsche and GTRs on youtube. Makes for some good entertainment

I like the spooling of big turbos. Enjoyed my centrifugal supercharger sound as well. The whine of a roots blower is not bad either….

Roots FTW! Weeeeeeee Weeeeeeeeee Weeeeeeeeee 04 Cobra

My 2013 RoushTor with Roush exhaust.....windows down....hauling through any tunnel....wife covers ears......serenity......I recorded the noise and downloaded it on my iPhone to soothe me.

GM got rid of supercharger whine starting with the 2012 CTS-V. I drove one at the dealer and was so elated that it had zero whine, I bought that car on the spot. 3 years later my new CTS-V coupe also had zero whine.

Interesting that about 1/2 of the respondents like a little whine with their drive. Honestly I would not have guessed that.
