It's a show stopper.

The 360 is not really stupid though is it. What is it, 400 odd HP? And yeah emotion has a lot to do with it. Drove a Mustang GT last year and was shocked how much fun the engine was, it liked a few revs, not S2000 revs but it wasn't all bottom end. And it sounded fantastic.
So yeah i hear ya, the 360 with an old fashioned screamer V8 i get, i am lusting seriously over a 997 GTS vert, which is not as far off the 360 you have as it first sounds and for much the same reason.
Some of these newer supercars are putting out 600, 700 HP and don't sound all that great, Lambo V12's the exception.
