Playback recordings are a facsimile. Even in my '08 1.6L Swift Sport I can very well hear and feel the exhaust pipe through the floor as it responds to various throttle inputs.
Haptic feedback is just as important to me as the sound, and is part of what makes a car feel alive, playful, and eager. IOW, fun.
I'm totally not against electric cars, but it just seems wrong to me to make them appear like what they're not (i.e IC engines). I'd rather enjoy a Tesla Roadster in its brisk silence than with any added artefact, especially one trying to mimic an ancient, physically unrelated technology.
