That there's nothing quite like wringing the neck of a finely tuned car which sounds fantastic. You could rev a Volvo 340 to 8000 revs, once, but it would sound horrible and go pop. The VTEC motors sound so sweet, and give off a sound so addictive you just have to redline it again to make sure you didn't hear it wrong!
It's the same reason why I could never own a Diesel, a large part of the enjoyment from driving is from the sound the car makes.
What did all the testers say about the Ferrari 355 when it first came out? Spine tingling bark at 8500 revs.
