[Candellara]

Fast & loud cars a target again - but also tractors speeding :-)

The comment by Mr Plowman about tractors was great.

I don't think sports cars are the ones being targetted here, they'll be after the s with their pop and bang maps and the learner bikes without any exhaust silencing.

There's no reason a car should make that much noise unless the engine is actually producing power.

[otolith]

Yes, unlikely to be sportscars.

I think this is probably sufficient explanation (and it's a ten year old graphic, I should think that bulge is even older now)

Could do with a group like that round here.

The awful noise of the rice krispie brigade is really annoying,especially at night when trying to get some sleep,Why do they think it sounds good?
Even modern golfs and audis with their paddle shifts sounds ste,like the ignition system has just failed in spectacular fashion.

A little bit of crackle can sound good on some engines/cars.

My car does it slightly when changing gear at high revs but that is because of the cam overlap and character of the engine.

Yep that's how these threads usually go.

From the article:

Mr Plowman said:

Many of us became aware of the noise issues and anti-social behaviour during the pandemic with loud vehicles driving at excessive speeds down the motorway often during the early hours of the morning

I thought the same. Lucky my daily is electric, maybe they will let me off.

[FourWheelDrift]

Chichester area, A27? Now that wouldn't be a few old racing cars being race prepped before the Goodwood revival would it?

[Johnnytheboy]

It's the horse drawn vehicles you've got to watch on the A27 around Chichester.

Chichester is where flying ones WW2 100db+ replica plane after a spot of lunch every day is fine but driving a loud car is not.

[Sway]

To be fair, over lockdown there were a group that'd go drifting between the roundabouts/junctions near Tangmere/Rolls Royce and that was bloody Irritating as well as being audible pretty widely due to how quiet it was otherwise.

That's the only time I've ever been woken up. Happened perhaps a dozen times - haven't heard it for months.

Other than that, I get to listen to spitfires and other historic warbirds whilst working from home and occasionally if cloud/wind is in the right direction some daytime noise from Goodwood on their louder days. No drama at all.

I think if you heard some of the cars i'm talking about you would be on my side.

Feathering the throttle going around in a built up area so it sounds like a repeated shotgun going off is not cool.

Unless you two are that type of driver;)

Mmmm. car impounded for 72 hours and the driver gets to pay the towing and impound fees. Neat idea.

I completely agree with this.

The "farting maps" as i like to call them.. mercs audis BMW's etc, just fk off!
Most of the public will just think your car has a miss fire or something wrong with it!

My EVO is high powered, but I only have a 3" exhaust from the down pipe to the tail pipe. Also have 3 silencers in total. Lovely sound and no drone at cruising revs.

[Hoonigan]

Hmmmm not sure if I should be worried or not, as he does only live 6 doors away from me…

For now I’ll blame the Ford Falcon that resides almost directly opposite him though as that’s also not exactly what I’d call quiet either.

Innocent until he knocks on my door to tell my otherwise I’d say.

If the bellends in their pop bang st boxes weren't so dim they could race around as much as they like as they wouldn't be drawing any attention to themselves.
Mobile crusher at the roadside and make them press the button.
