I don't think your anecdote is reflective at all.

On Youtube, Daily Driven Exotics is one of the largest automotive channels and I would suppose you would consider all the antics you see on that channel to be quite obnoxious. Plenty of Americans consider everything they see of that channel as "wow what a cool guy/car".

Burning rubber to show off in a busy city, attracting attention from everyone, is different than a YouTube channel that caters to people who would seek out that content specifically. Of course people who watch car videos think “wow what a cool guy/car” more often than the general population.

If I thought I could get away with it I would lay rubber leaving every stop. It has nothing to do with what other people think and everything to do with me having fun.
