what an engine note

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEOHn7rspsk

is there anyway to get the noble to make a noise like this car does at around 25-31 seconds into this clip? its sounds like an F1 car.

In a word, No--a 3-rotor rotary motor puts out an entirely different sound spectrum from its exhaust than you can ever get from a piston motor.
BTW, that demo was done at my "home" track -- Laguna Seca, CA ,

The Pod racing scene! Turn on the 5:1 (or better), crank up the volume 'till the floor rumbles and give your ears an orgasm
