It's not the sound that increases the testosterone but the visualization of the nice fancy sports car. As soon as all cars started sounding like that it would have no effect.

Yes, just like fancy clothes. Today you can go to Zara and buy hype clothes for cheap whose design has been copied from fashion designers. As fancy clothes are commoditized, they don't have the same effect to turn on women anymore. But still, Zara makes brazillions of dollars. A cheap car making the same sound as a Ferrari would make a lot of money too.
Want a startup idea? I just gave you one :-)

I remember seeing a segment on TV years ago... I think it was on Beyond 2000 (anyone ever watch that?). It was about this device that reproduced the engine noises of various high-end cars and routed them through the stereo system. It must have connected to the car computer or something to get tachometer readings, but my memory is fuzzy.
Do they have a copyright on their noise?
