The engine sound is part of the experience. When you hear the engine making noises in tune with the vibrations you're feeling through the car, you just get excited. The more you hear the loud roar, the more excited you get.

Case and point. One day I randomly took a motorcycle safety course and got my class M license. I immediately bought a beater bike to practice on. Well this beater still did 0-60 in under 5 seconds and had one mean exhaust note at 10k+ RPM. I made a choice to get rid of it to help pay off some bills, but to this day because of my experiences with it, whenever I hear a street bike roll on the throttle, I get excited. Before, it did almost nothing for me. But after experiencing the thrill of it, the loud sounds make me excited and yearn for another bike.

This guy makes a lot of comments about how inexperienced he is with performance cars and how his limited experience includes looking at one or two parked. I am willing to bet you if he had any extended experience behind the wheel of a performance car, he'd be singing a different tune.
