My answer to this "joy of loud ICE noises" statement is: "Do you want to make noise, or do you want to win races and set world records? I'd rather set world records." This pretty much ends the discussion, because it points out the foolishness of the loud exhaust argument. EV's are going to

Snowmobiles have power requirements similar to boats or airplanes. Unlike cars (or trains) that draw little power once they are rolling, snowmobiles have considerable drag while moving through the snow. Thus, the range for a given battery capacity can be quite low, especially in deep, wet,
