Call me weird, but I kinda like the sound. Since it is tied to the power being "put down" as he accelerates I think it is cool. I could get used to it if I had one. Kinda reminds me of the high pitch sound of a Formula 1 car or a motor cycle where the engines rev at very high rpms. Yes sounds quite good to me, very quiet family ride for hauling the kids and the mrs, and one of these to take me to work at 170 mph....OK so maybe not that fast, but sure would kick ass stop light to stop light.
