    Default Worst. Accessory. Ever. Play V8 engine noise through your car stereo



    We're inundated with our fair share of press releases from aftermarket companies, but this one takes the proverbial cake in '08. A firm by the name of in.pro. is marketing a system to the worst-of-the-worst poseurs in the form of the Virtual Motor.

    The system taps into the RPM sensor and then plays a choice of four different engine noises through the vehicle's stereo. What high-revving sounds you ask? Well, you can either be serenaded by an "Italo V8," a six-cylinder boxer, a "rallye" engine or... wait for it... a Monoposto; what we're assuming is an F1 car's 15,000-rpm shriek.

    We're taking suggestions for the most ridiculous vehicle to be equipped with the Virtual Motor in the comments below, but we'll start off with the Daewoo Matiz -- equipped with the 800cc three-cylinder.

    "a six-cylinder boxer,"

    Boxers are 4-cylinders. Someone should tell the Autoblog kids that.

    Also this is too goddamn funny.

    Hook it up to a boom box and put it on the back of a Razor scooter. All I have to say is "power to weight ratio". lololololololololololol
