Nobody cares about the sound of auto transes. But a 4-on-the-floor V8, that's another matter entirely. See the movie Bullitt for proof.

I'll get an electric car like everyone else. But I dream about having a '68 Mustang :-)

But performance cars are already using electronic sound generation in gas cars. Just do that for electrics too.

A movie may not be an accurate representation of reality. But, point taken.

I've driven enough of those cars to know that movie was pretty accurate in how the cars sounded and drove. Such depictions are sadly extremely rare.
