In my country the loud cars are not so much that problem, but motorbikes. I fucking hate loud motorbikes. It is like 130 dB or more.
But they need their bike to be loud so other drivers can hear them as they illegally pass, lane split, weave through traffic, and overall be a menace on the roadway.
People really can't understand sarcasm on the internet
I honestly just assumed I upset bike riders who do view their noise as a safety net, which i would argue is mostly a moot point given the sound proofing of modern cars means you don't hear the bike until it would already be too late anyway.
