This would be great to load up onto an RPi and put into a kids toy. Maybe use it to pimp up one of those toddler steering wheel sets.

This is amazing. I think a small amount of window dressing would make this a classic page people bookmark and return to frequently just for fun. Especially if that make it mobile friendly.

Like even just two pedals and two flappy shifters on screen with all those other tools hidden behind a collapse or whatnot.

Tangentially: Does anyone know where to find a collection of the low speed sounds emitted by electric vehicles (in the US at least)? I'd be interest to hear the different approach different manufacturers have taken.

hmm, I either don't know how to use it or it doesn't work in Safari

Reload. Click in the window. Then rev up the engine. It breaks when you switch sounds -- so reload, select sound, click somewhere, etc.

Add buttons for people on mobile?

Even better, use the gyroscope.

Absolutely delightful!

This is way more fun than it has any right to be.

If you downshift with RPM too high, UI breaks off and falls to floor of screen

Whole Page turns red when you hit RPM limit

Shift score. Can you pick the perfect shift point based on sound alone?
