I wonder if people who do this realize there is a very small subset of only other boys/young men who appreciate it? Or is that the motivation here....
i don't mind a little crackle when a motor is being pushed to the absolute limits, but if a low-rev 1-2 shift is doing it in traffic, it's stupid.

it's like anything else. someone will find something they sorta like, and then take it far past the extremes.
