rangeroger Off-the-wall musical facts (55* d) RE: Off-the-wall musical facts 13 Aug 03


Back in the early 70's when Matra-Simca was competing in F-1, their v-12 engines were said to out-Ferrari the Ferraris.Having heard them at Ontario Motor Speedway I would agree. Loud and shrill.

An editor at Road and Track magazine,who was also a musician, worked out that a 12-cylinder engine running at 12,000 rpm produced a musical note at a frquency 3 octaves above middle C. At a volume that could be heard for miles.
