All Girls Garage. I watched that. It's cool, but not my thing if I had a Mach-E. But I get it. Sound is awesome for driver feedback and it's why we tune our exhaust.

I wouldn't buy it lol.

It is lame, but fast forward 10 years and the next generation will think its normal

Cant blame a company for trying to figure out how to stay relevant in a new world.

It’s lame but it makes sense from a business standpoint.

You kidding me? A millennial that can make their E Doofusmobile sound like a V8 Shelby, then tomorrow a V10 R8 then the next day a V12 Lamborghini? Those idiots will be all over it

Ever change the wallpaper on your computer or phone? How about your ringtone? Same difference.

I drove a Mach-E GT and found the silence to be quite disconcerting. Having some noise would have been appreciated. If that noise sounds like a Coyote, all the better.

Yeah, even if it's fake, let's let people enjoy some fun sounds on their EV. I don't want it for myself, but at least it's something to make them a little less boring, lol.

I hear you but just FYI there was nothing boring about the MEGT. It was a blast to drive. Fast as crap, and handled more than decently (just a little backroads fun). Very comfortable with good driving dynamics. Now about that name and the lack of sound……oh never mind.

It was always inevitable.

And I’m sorry, I realize I’m nothing more than an old school hard-liner. I’ll happily stipulate to it. But in my opinion when you’re talking Mach-e lame becomes kind of a relative term.

I have a floor fan that rattles. Wouldn't that be more appropriate? Or say, a wash machine, blender, mix master.

I like how EV's drive, but once you get used to the blistering 0-60 times and seat of the pants feel, there's not much else to get excited about. I love a good handling car, but with modern tires, most sporty cars can take corners on the street well above legal speed limits, and I've gotten to an age where that just doesn't feel very responsible. Typically cars that are exceedingly impressive technically are the ones that hold my attention for the least amount of time. Not because they're bad per se, but for most realistic driving that isn't going to put me in jail, a much slower, more engaging car with a manual transmission and a fabulous sound track out of the tail pipes is far more enjoyable for me.

Lots of companies have been piping fake engine noise into the cabin for years, Ford has done it, BMW has done it. What's the difference?
It's lame in both cases, but I don't see what makes Borla's attempt noteworthy.
