I Knew There Was A Way to Edit the Exhaust

Many performance cars now have a soundtrack so that full throttle sounds like you are really beating the ponies senseless.  On some cars,  it is a recorded soundtrack.   On some, a microphone feeds some of the real exhaust sound through your speakers. (Additional research indicates it is real.)

There are, as you might expect,  several modes on the CT5: Snow Mode, Touring Mode, Sport Mode.  My Mode let's you edit Steering Effort (to improve or at least simulate better road feel), Brake Feel (that brake pedal force element that I previously mentioned), and Exhaust Note (enhanced and not).  I cannot immediately hear the difference but then again, I have not pushed the pedal to the metal recently, where the engine gives a noise that says "Zoom!"
