Ya know, living in an apartment really sucks
Got a "talking to" by one of the managers for my T/A being started up in the early am by the office(didn't know someone actually lived in there). It's hard having 3 cars parked together. Just got home at 1 am and had to park in the other lane of spots away from my cars UGH. I just feel really bad for the people living here when I start up/drive the T/A home at night. Kind like walking on egg shells.  And ofcourse not having a garage BLOWS. The vette is flying on jackstands prepping to change the cranks sensor in the am.......and I have long tubes on the car so a major PITA.
Went and saw inglorious basterds tonight and got home after 1 am. Ugh, I really want to change the exhaust and add high flow cats, and a catback after tonight to quiet the car down

rent a garage. use a quiet car to get to the garage, which will be in the sticks so no one can hear it when you start/stop the loud cars.
or, just grin and bear it.

I can relate when I lived in my apt. My garage actually was below an apt so I tried my best to get it in and out without much throttle the best I could. Never got a complaint but doesn't mean it couldn't happen. I say get a garage or grin and bear it as mentioned.

To be fair, it's pretty god damn annoying when people make noise early in the morning. I was woken up sometime before 8am because someone decided to cut grass at the ass crack of dawn..

I got the same problem. I leave around 6 every morning for work. No complaints yet in 3 years but it will happen eventually Im sure. You can hear the exhaust echo off the other buildings.

Nah, I graduated in may so I don't have to deal with State College construction noise any more, just gotta deal with unemployment  It was one of the neighbors who, for one reason or another, decided to cut grass sometime before 8...
When I lived on campus construction started at 8am, promptly, almost every day... I hated those construction people. They were right outside my uninsulated window too.

This was a few years ago. Just ignore the dyno numbers. That was with an unlocked torque convertor.
