FWIW, most high revving engines are similar, even when you get into the ultra expensive cars. |

But a "rough" engine isn't inherently dangerous... It's just louder, more coarse, more raw... none of which is necessarily a bad thing in a sports car, IMO.

What you perceive to be smooth is partly the balance of the engine, but also how well the manufacturer isolates the passenger cabin from NVH. |

Let's just say they are dampened out everywhere & only let you feel "some" of it other then exhaust/intake sound. (which is enough ...afterall it's "sport & luxury" in one car type of thing, you really get what you pay for.) Last edited by chaoskaze; 03-15-2016 at 04:47 AM. |

Entering a corner off the throttle, at speed, the front of my FR-S pushes. Feeding in throttle definitely tightens my driving line.

Oh, I understand that. I've driven race cars. They're rough, yes. But they're purpose-built. I'm OK with that. I just wouldn't want that in my DD.

I guess in many ways I think modern cars are too refined for me, also. It takes the fun out of driving. But my personal taste is for a smooth engine in addition to a fun driving experience. A smooth engine is one modern nicety that doesn't detract from the experience for me. |
