That would be a hit with the tuner crowd that's always doing that on their X-boxes/whatever - my kids still play a couple of those car street racing games and I'd swear they spend more time customizing than actual driving. This would certainly appeal to a certain segment of the younger driving population.Originally posted by Aleks
I think it's great for daily drivers. You can have it quiet on the inside and outside during the commute, and set it to make some noise inside when you feel like it and still keep it quiet outside to attract less attention.
This is taking it to a whole new level. Renault Clio has 6 different selectable engine sounds.
Personally, I don't get it - people wanting their cocoon that isolates them from the outside world and then artificially piping in engine sounds that may not be even representative of the actual vehicle you're driving. Hell, this reminds me of movies where there's a chase scene and the cars are emitting rumbling V8 sounds even though you know for sure that no V8 was ever offered in those cars.
What's next, squealing tire sounds through the speakers when you push it a bit hard even though there's no actual squealing tire sounds outside?
