  • its not about speed its about consistency...the faster (or slower) your tires hit the grooves determines the pitch of the song...cruise control over it and it will sound perfect and all in tune

  • Too bad it was paved over

  • lol doesnt sound much like in the commericial :|

  • Yeh, because not all cars work on it.

  • it was made for 2007 civic sedan ex-l

  • Wtf are you talking about. All cars work on it. If you're going too slow it sounds like crap, you have to be going fast enough for it too sound good, but not too fast.

  • No it is something about the weight of a Honda Civic that makes it work.

  • at least I would've caught the error before they committed to cutting the concrete for the entire stretch.  I suspect that they didn't change a thing when they recreated the "tune" on the Avenue G.

  • The "Lone Ranger" theme song is actually the "William Tell Overture"... and while it appears that this group of people attempted to get the melody right, they failed.

    They should've consulted a musician.

  • ehhhhhh

  • well said

  • LOL.. like you could've done better.

  • Goodyear tested it for many years and found out that: 1. It startled drivers way too much - . 2. It caused tires (of the time) to have less traction in wet weather conditions causing skidding. 3. Induced vibration in cars that led to skidding. With all of these reasons, Goodyear abandoned the project in the 60s but the test track still exists somewhere near Phoenix Arizona

  • in the early 1950s. Goodyear Aerospace in Arizona (a division of Goodyear Tire and Rubber) made a road (test track) that had many parallel groves cut into it like groves of a record player. After the concrete road was poured, a big machine with many little grove making wires trailing behind it would go over the wet concrete and make many little parallel cuts in the concrete effectively making a record track for tires that traveled over it.

  • AWSOME :)

  • what is the name of the song?

  • William Tell

  • It's the Lone Ranger theme song.

  • Congrats, you're the first person I've seen so far on youtube to actually go the correct speed to actually hear the song.

  • i rode on it i live in Quartz hill
