    To be fair BMW and VAG/AUDI put factory pop and crackle modes (intentional over fueling/backfires) in their cars too.

      As someone who lives next to a road where this racket happens around the clock: screw those guys. I know there’s an overall theme of car companies externalizing environmental impact to the general public, but it’s like they went through a list and realized that “noise pollution” was worthy of a tad more exploitation. /rant
