Meh. I used to but not anymore. I understand the thrill, the "power" that sounds like, but you know what? I don't care for it anymore because its fake. The sound you're hearing is wasted energy, hot air and pollution. To me, the "whirrrrrrrrrr" of an electric car is so much sexier to me now because its cleaner, faster, and so much more efficient.

On a side note: Formula E coming to Montreal this summer! Woohoo!
I often agree with you Mark but not this time....
Id much rather get behind the wheel of my 458 Italia than any of the pure electrics I have driven, hands down. The engine sound is part of the driving experience.
