I would argue that the engine doesn't detract from the experience, but it doesn't really add anything intangible either. The engine doesn't stir the soul like the rest of the car does, IMO, and it really should.
Outside of modifications there's no way to alter the performance of the engine, but I've found that my exhaust really lets me enjoy the engine at least aurally. Especially in parking garages. I don't think it's as limp as everyone says, but I wouldn't mind more ponies.
