The Blower Whine Life: Watch Matt James Rip The Skins Off Of The Back Of This Ford!


The Blower Whine Life: Watch Matt James Rip The Skins Off Of The Back Of This Ford!

Do you drive at 100% of your capacity all the time, every time? Probably not. I don’t care if you’re looking at the Toyota Corolla in the parking lot, the only time you’ll ever drive that car at 100% is the ten seconds it takes to get that sucker up to sixty miles an hour. Even the Great Pumpkin Mustang, with it’s (supposed) 118 horsepower, is well over the line of legality at half throttle around town. But you can dream, can’t you? Nothing is stopping you from imagining the perfect scene: that road out in the middle of nowhere, with the very generous intersection. No houses, no oncoming traffic…no humans as far as the eye can see, and even better, no black and whites for miles. It’s you on a sunny day with in ideal conditions, What do you do?

This is BangShift…we know damn well what you’d do. The question is, really, what is your chariot of choice? For yours truly, I’m honestly not that partial, but if you give me the heaven-sent situation above, I want noise like what you’ll hear coming out of Matt James’ Ford while I’m doing it. That’s not blower whine so much as it’s the sound of tortured air as it’s sucked in by the cubic yard, mashed to a high pressure and treated to a flame bath before being shot out of the pipes. It goes in screaming and it comes out sounding like war. Nothing against that quiet, tranquil scene, but if it’s me at the stop sign, you might wanna plug your ears. It’s about to get loud.
