A Staten Island driver is suing over a “noise camera” ticket for his $315,000 Lamborghini — saying the fine should be dropped because he didn’t modify the supercar to make it louder.…
Yeah no shit. The thing is, those supercars are insanely loud from factory. I was behind a pair of Diablo SVs in a traffic jam on the motorway once, and even then they pretty much drowned out the sound of the little 500 cc motorcycle engine between my legs. I have no idea how those things are deemed street legal.
Edit: It’s not about the revs alone, but also engine load. 3000 rpm stationary might be relatively quiet, but 3000 rpm with the throttle blades wide open is an entirely different matter.
That car cruising at 30 mph in the city is probably louder than a Honda Civic when you put the loud pedal all the way down on the freeway.
It depends on the revs, not the speed.
