After all, hauling 20 cars, crap to build another 10, hundreds of people all around the globe so that millions of morons, me included, can whatch those said cars chasing each other around a tarmac track that's probably damaging good farm land without a clear purpose is no waste at all, it's absolute essential and efficient activity, sine qua non condition to the development of a healthy civilization.
Well yeah, but the thing is that if the engineers had a completely free hand in engine development, they would do anything to extract as much energy from the fuel as possible for propulsion, and they would not care one bit for the sound. If they could beat the other manufacturers by building an engine that happens to make not sound at all, they would.
It's nonsensical to ask for great V10/12 sound and at the same time for deregulation. The only reason we had V10s in the first place was because turbos were forbidden (and V12s because turbos were not where they needed to be yet). Demanding V10 sounds ultimately means to demand regulation.
