Agree. And that’s kinda my point. I would argue that most (70% maybe) people have no idea what 500hp feels like or what it takes to make 500 real hp on a dyno. But they don’t care as long as it sounds good at the drive in.
I have seen a few "poser Cams" in action. They sound great idling and idling down the street but around 2000 or so they smooth out like Grandma's Poly in her 65 Plymouth. Here's a Teen with a Whiplash. Love the idle.
