We've all heard jokes about soon with all the electric and hybrid cars coming on line, soon they'll add the exhaust note as part of the car's audio systems..... Check this out!! Apparently, it's been here since last year!!! Who among us has a new VW or a new M5? What does it sound like? Does it mean, in the near future, we could buy a Prius and buy the sound option to have it sound like a FGT or Pagani?? Dang....:thumbsdow:facepalm:

...and anybody who actually uses that 'feature' will get the horse-laugh from true car guys faster than he could possibly imagine.

"Phoney" doesn't cut it.

There's no substitution for an American V8! Nuthin' sounds like a V8....even my 8.4 liter SRT10 pales by comparison...sounds more like a tractor than a high performance vehicle.

Here's a much cheaper and easier modification.

Well, at least that goofy thing would only make you look like a fool to whomever else may be INSIDE your car...

Yes, and to paraphrase the first rule in Italian racing, "what is not sitting beside me doesn't matter"
