Interesting. A Tesla does just that. Do they use any kind of phony sound? I doubt it and that is exactly why they will swamp all the old school thinking when it comes to really high performance cars. Unfortunately, a Tesla is not exactly a "Kerby, OR" car. If it was, I would have one instead of a Prius, Element and two GMCs.

How 'bout a muscle car that will blow the doors off of everything else on
the road with only the sound and smell of burning rubber? That would sound
better to me! :-)
