The issue is that many such drivers are anti-social, even if their intention is not necessarily to annoy people. If they want to rev their engine and whatnot, I'm not fundamentally against it. I love me a nice-sounding engine and the visceral sensation it gives you. But please don't do it under my window when I'm trying to work, or worse, at 2 AM when I sleep. That's just a dick move. Go out in the countryside, where the trees will cut down the noise. Ditto for motorbikes with loud pipes. That's an absolute nuisance. And I am, myself, a motorcyclist with a big-ass bike. I just don't rev it above 4000 RPM in the city, so it's quieter than most cars, even at the red light (the stock exhaust has a flap that closes below 5-6000 RPM).
