I can't imagine what it sounded like. No wonder many of our grandparent's generation were hard of hearing. OSHA what?

This wagon pulled up yesterday during our road ride at CocoLuxe in peapack. Big 390 in there it was clean sounded great.
Then after I got home I was taking the dog for a walk and In the distance I hear someone doing a launch in what sounds like a super car coming down the local main road in my development. Made the dog jump.
Then this asshat turned down my block and instead of slow rolling and waiting for the 20 young kids (like ages 7-12) playing basketball down the street to see him and move, he bounces the car off the rev limiter twice to make sure everyone knew what an asshat he really is. I’m all for cool cars and such but that was a d**k move.

Whether this guy was an asshat or hero depends entirely on the reaction of said kids hearing a supercar bounce off of the rev limiter.

lets just say the kids ran away and the parents nearby gave their negative feedback pretty loud and clear.
