That's America, but it's a mentality promoted as much by the manufacturers as the public, worse still is that few cars roll off the assembly line as efficient as they could be... Matter of fact, most cars produced fall far below their optimum performance levels.
Simply using headers instead of those clutzky exhaust manifolds would make a great difference, just as one example.
