According to city violation data aggregated by the popular website How’s My Driving NY, Aquilino did receive two tickets on that same day in the West Village for blowing through a red light and speeding in a school zone.

Supercars should be on racetracks, where they were designed for, instead of public roads. And Aquilino definitely should not be driving them on public roads.

It’s pretty stupid that the law went after modifications, instead of just saying noise above x decibels is the issue.

Actually, the law does just say “above 85db” is not allowed. Doesn’t matter if the car is stock or not.

Can you source this? I tried looking it up, and I found this

https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/newyorkcity/latest/NYCadmin/0-0-0-209188

and

https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01102

Which seem more concerned about how far away you can hear a vehicle from, rather than a specified decibel rating (But maybe that’s just a simpler way to measure decibel?)

It’s a way to assess dB without a gauge on hand.

They’re not designed for racetracks. They’re also faster than Formula 1 cars in certain regards. But make no mistake they are still designed for road use. There’s no CarPlay on racetracks.
