"I feel that if the residents are upset by noise and the city wants to crack down on noise — I don’t disagree with it," Aquilino said. "I disagree with if a car is unmodified and you want to fine them."

Massive ego on this sack of shit. "Residents are upset by noise but if the noise is stock then it is fine."

I understand where he is coming from. If the car is street legal, he shouldn't have gotten a fine for using it. The problem is that cars that produce such levels of noise are street legal.

This is still a goofy line of reasoning. If you, for example, are driving a truck equipped with engine retarder brakes, in quite a lot of municipalities you literally aren't allowed to use them because they are too loud for neighbourhoods. You risk getting a fine.

Revving a lambo is exactly the same.
