i'm probably the biggest car fan i know in my personal circle, but a certain 370Z Nismo right outside my apartment does get annoying, after hearing that massively loud idle drone morning by morning.

can imagine non car people getting at least as mad, at louder cars.

I used to have the v8 C63 - a great car which sounded lovely, but I have to admit, on the rare occasion I started it in the morning I used to do so through gritted teeth.

I've still got one of these (w204), it's loud - imho kinda pointlessly - for a second or so, then is pretty quiet - one of the reasons I love it.
