We talked a little bit about the RX-8. He's a smart guy, and he's a car guy, but he's not super knowledgeable about cars per se. He asked how much power it made but in the context of modern cars that figure is just not that impressive.

Interestingly he's an O-4, the Macan is not a cheap vehicle so I was kind of surprised he had one.
No, I am pretty sure it is just to make noise.

I wouldn't mind it as a option on my turbo since it is so quiet.
