Actually, one of my neighbors has a Lexus GX470 and that thing is ridiculously loud on start up—not the exhaust, but I think the cooling fan? It sounds like a turbofan engine.

A kid (mid 20s?) a few houses up the street has a Scat Pack Charger. I think he has an exhaust on it that's louder than stock (and stock wasn't quiet). He gets on it in the neighborhood, which I don't like, but I've never had an issue with the sound. It's more pleasant than the variety of older 1/2 ton and 3/4 trucks that live or work in the neighborhood. Also more pleasant than the RSX with a fart pipe that "warms up" for 10 minutes before leaving the garage several times a day a few houses down.
JST, you don't need to apologize as you're well balanced.
edit- The Camaro forum is peppered with threads with titles like "My neighbors are angry" "Someone left a note" "What can I do to quiet down startup?"
My favorite is still my wife asking me "Is it always going to sound a like a helicopter landing when you get home?" right after I got the car.
