Ditto, that SC Mustang on I Am Legend sounded awesome...

I can totally see the Turbo is technically the better solution power and economy wise but it just ruins the character of the car, everyone I've given a ride or a lift loves the sound of the charger and it's the first thing they mention. I think without the video game esque engine note I'm sure it wouldn't be as much fun, it becomes more of a serious car than a comedy car.
