The rise of fake engine noise
Am I the only one that associates loud noise with a weak engine?<p>To me a powerful car just has an acceleration whine, and that's all.<p>It's like a rocket exhaust: the "wilder" it is the weaker it is. A powerful, well tuned, rocket has a very sharp, and clean (i.e. not noisy) flame.<p>Same with a car - if it's making a lot of noise, it's poorly tuned or designed.
