You're not a car guy and certainly not a hot rodder, Just admit that you're too stupid to get it and move on with your intolerant life. Must feel real good to have your nose that high in the air, though, eh?
In fact, I'm going to go make my Mustang louder and faster just to **** off intolerant asses like you.

So now a different preference is what makes someone "stupid"? At least I had more reason than that to criticize your interests. But I suppose you think you have a monopoly on which preference is smarter than the other? If so, I challenge you to elaborate on what makes mine any more "stupid" than yours

Feels good to be right and know it, if that's what you're asking. And if you think I'm not, perhaps you should try attacking my argument rather than me personally (The latter being a violation of the TOS and all...)

This statement only proves me right. Your "preference" is really all about inconsideration and apathy.
Like I'm supposed to just tolerate the excessive noise, or it says something bad about me. Please!

Speaking of TOS, can someone please explain to me (in another thread, as doing it here would be a TOS violation, of course), why I can't rep. the same awesome person twice? Grr. I suppose it's neither here nor there. My hat (if I had one) is off to you, Vic 2.0, even though C-D won't let me show you more love for another several posts. Well said.
Doesn't matter. Either a decibel level is high enough to annoy you or it isn't.

Understandable but not particularly helpful in determining what is "too noisy". I had a job once where I worked in a bullpen and there was consistent chattering throughout the day. I found myself far more annoyed when it was non-work-related chatter (about half the time). But a counselor gave me some advice - noise is noise. It's either loud enough to interfere with your concentration or is isn't. If the former, it's a problem, if the latter it isn't.
Not exactly...

This^^^.
It's not just simple volume. As an appropriate example, the Flowmaster on my F150 had a terrible drone, but it wasn't that loud. When I switched to a Magnaflow, the drone was gone but the overall volume stayed the same. Higher frequencies are perceived as being louder than lower frequencies, but in fact the opposite is true.

Not sure. Prolly ask a mod. But a good old-fashioned "Hat's off to ya" works just fine for me!
Muscle cars by definition are midsize cars with high-displacement engines. That's a Nova (compact) with a 350 (small block).
Still a cool car, though.
Who decided on that definition? There is a wide range of what can be considered to be a muscle car. "High displacement" is a relative term. When muscle cars first began, most cars had 6 cylinders or much smaller V8s. A 350 was fairly big back in the day. And it's not specifically about size; it's about output.
Yes, if it after market (and I am pretty sure it is), it is to loud.
Fine for the race track, but not for the street.
Bob.
