I haven't seen this discussed, but I sincerely hope this isn't happening with the FGT2. This is indeed a horrible trend. Ford didn't start it, but it is very disappointing that they have joined in the fakery.

Obviously, this is not news in the automotive world, but this is the first I've seen in mainstream press.

Why isn't there more outrage?

Active simulated engine noises from speakers aren't green, they lower MPG! Where's Greenpeace when you need them?

I googled that and came up with nothing. But yeah, what can you do with a V6?

The Hellcat was almost as slow as a Prius. :lol

Think the Hellcat driver can get his money back and buy a Prius?

Like to see an actual race with someone who could drive. I think the Hellcat wins, but I think it would be close. Tesla pretty impressive. Any literature yet about hot-rodding the Tesla? Perhaps the electrical engineers get their revenge after a hundred years.

What are you complaining about Gary? They are just like the fake orgasm noises you always hear.

Haven't heard the fake ones in years. I remember some in the distant past that were quite disturbing. Maybe they weren't fake? Who knows, who cares? The noises I hear now are real...they are my own. :biggrin
