90% of the fun is the roar and the viceral excitement of an engine on the edge.

This is the exact reason why I often hesitate to show people I get to shake hands with that I am a "car person". I find a car that is loud to the point of making my ears bleed: totally not necessary. I want that thing to sound interesting, yes. But for me: "good sound" does not equal loudness.

As in: I like to hear a decent engine-note. As long as I do not have to give up my hearing-organs for it. "look at me, I have a loud beast" is just "meh!". Not interesting. At all! Difficult to explain to some folks that I love performance cars and - driving, yet I despise overblown loudness like the plague

But... but... they don't scream and roar! Boring!

Also, damn you liberal communist hippies

Thinking of it, everyone would love them with fake engine noises

I think there is room for both and if you are like me ( like both ) you are on a winner. :)

I'm sure it's fun in real life but I'd hate to see it put into a game.

It would be in it's own class and I'd imagine it would add another interesting challenge - the change of audio being one of them. Nobody forces you to play it then, though, since of course, all the other cool & loud cars will still be there ...

Think you've taken this a few steps over and above my one line ands turned most of it into something I never said.

I never mentioned the word 'loudness' even at all. there is nothing like the sound of a tuned engine on the edge an that even applied to the F1 V12's. And they were so much on the edge than any car I can literally think of. What does volume have to do with anything I have said?

But as an aside I don't care less if it's a lawnmower engine or a tuned V8 - it's the visceral part with is the exitement, and the dirt, and the oil, and the splutters, and the whine and the explosions and the exhaust and the heat and the fire...

I hate digital...

Better...? :-)

Smells like DLC opportunities.

I'm hoping the Dr is joking...

Well BMW seems to fare well with fake engine noises through the car's stereo... no I think electric cars are great, however I like the audible feedback to feel how fast I am... I had the problem in electric cars in Gran Turismo, when I had to watch the speedo all the time to know how fast I was. Having a certain engine noise in a certain gear certainly helps me a lot to estimate my speed. Just helped me to drive subconsciously without looking at some speedo somewhere all the time.

Ah, I was thinking you were making it up about the fake engine noises. Still not for me it's all about knowing you are driving a physical beast and not just an excercise in ameter readings and talking in kilowatts - yuk!

fun fact: kW > HP

No please don't get me wrong. I'd actually like to have fake engine (or some other artificial) noise. Because part of my driving clearly relies on knowing which gear I'm in and hearing the engine noise. It's just that distracting "look on the speedo" thing vs. just feeling my speed through my ears. I believe electric engines are awesome, but I have trouble dealing with them when they're silent.
