An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    Electric cars are fun, and I don’t personally mind they’re basically silent. But nothing will replace the fun of a manual transmission ICE.

    I don’t think most people get a loud exhaust for attention either, but because they like it. But windows down blasting music is pointless and toxic, IMO.

    Also saying if you want speed to go electric is too generic, IMO. What kind of speed and when you’re going to use it is important. For example, if you want speed from a standstill, then sure electric. Want speed once you’re already moving, like a race track, then ICE is fine since you’ll be high RPMs.
