Forgive me for not being that impressed. This video ruined everything for me:

A V6 Cavalier sounds MUCH better, but your bias against GM products won't let you admit that...

Are you sure that isn't someone doing 'raspberries' into a microphone?

What you don't hear is the sound of the crunch of the 1st to 2nd shift when you tear out the syncros, like I did when I ran an autocross in my Fiat X1/9.

It actually sounds a lot like my old Suzuki 185 when the expansion chamber gasket failed at the exhaust port.

To each his own, but I'll take a Ferrari v12 or a big block American V8, thanks.

Interesting how the comments about this post on Facebook are all positive and the ones here are all bitchy.

For me, the car sounds great, and the driving is exquisite.

I think racing engines with no muffler sound all pretty good. The Stratos is awesome but even the S2000 sounds pretty sick too:
