Maybe there needs to be a law regarding youngsters with their modified cars, their extremely loud exhausts can really frighten people, aspies can have sensitive sensory issues

When I hear the racket from a car that's had its exhaust cancelled, and the engine's barely making enough compression to pull the car forward from a dead stop, I always have to laugh at the driver, but not for long...because I'm usually out-running him, in a completely stock and rather worn out Toyota from the 90s.
Really, if you want a hot-rod, at least make it go fast.

Hot-Rods of the future may soon become silent. If you ever drove an electric car, especially a Tesla. Those cars have some serious 0-60 performance, and the cool part is, there almost totally silent.

I've seen a few of the Tesla automobiles out on the road and they are absolutely silent, tend to run perfectly, and look like forty thousand bucks...which I haven't got, so I like to sit & watch them go by. They're wonderful cars.
One day I'm retiring the old gasoline car. Can't exactly buy a Tesla because they're too complicated, defy the right to repair, I simply haven't got that kind of money, and well, I don't like Musk's personality and politics. But I love electric cars, know a thing or two about spare parts...time to build something that will do what I want for a car. Probably going to take a bunch of early Ford parts and a forklift motor, do my own bodywork, and come up with something close to a Detroit or Milburn electric.
I don't expect more than about forty or fifty miles an hour but that's OK. If I live somewhere people are going that fast, it's too fast for me.
One of these days I'm hoping to drive a modern electric though!
I've never noticed any loud cars but painfully loud motorbikes are a thing here (UK).I have read that loud exhaust is a US thing and that it frowned upon in Europe. Can any of our European members comment on this?
... Give it some time and the industry will settle down on standards and every car maker will start churning out EV's. I'd say within 10 years, half the cars on the road will be electric.
I agree. Tesla is kind of like the "Apple" of electric cars. I don't like the philosophy behind it, but you can't deny the fact that they are innovating and leading the way with electric cars. And just like Apple invented the first personal computer and smart phone. They too lead the way in innovation.

We've got a young man lives near who soups up cars, he's sometimes heard zooming out of the car park near his flat with a loud engine. Not often enough to be really annoying, but it does worry me how fast he drives as there are families with young children on this road, and older people crossing, plus the cats of course. Wow there he goes now!
Bikes are another noise issue, young ones ride them in the river park area, and it erodes the paths as well as being dangerous and noisy. But it's fair to say, where can they go with them? They tend not wear helmets either, unwisely.
