It's sad, when in the car even when flooring it, it sounds the same. But when you stand behind the car it sounds meaner, not necessarily louder, but just meaner.

this is funny cause i was driving next to a gto with mods and you can here it rumbling while pushing the gas and when i push the gas soft or hard and speed up, it still sounds quiet but i was going as fast as the gto. always weird thought.
