Just strap on your genuine authentic Steve McQueen replica Bell helmet and zip off to Sebring for 12 fun-filled hours. But it's more likely that the cabin noise gimmick is meant to make a nice vroom-vroom sound, so that ricers and would-be racer-bois will feel all tingly in their tighty-whities when they drive down to Target for the weekend shopping.
