Let me clarify one of my previous responses a bit.

Exhaust sound and vibrations that I feel through the seat, pedals, and steering wheel are all important as far as me knowing how much of my car's performance I'm actually using. But they don't have to be at a 'shout' level for me to get the message, and in truth it's best if they aren't so I can get the full picture without, say, the sound overpowering the tactile. Or what the tires might be trying to tell me in a corner.

I don't have to be driving at "track intensity" to be aware of those things.
