I think it just appeals to the sense of power that drives some people to buy such cars. It's a power, speed, control, 'I have something faster and more dangerous than you' thing to a degree. A car is an extension of some people's persona. For me, I go with the 'something I can leave on the street because no one would want to steal it' approach.

In Toronto getting caught going 20KM/H over the speed limit results in having your car towed and your drivers license suspended. So why do the sell cars that is 2-3 times the legal speed limit on the freeways/highways, not to mention mid town urban/suburban driving most as us do? Oh yeah, and they're planning to reduce the speed limit, but I doubt the speedometer will change on the latest models automobiles. My 2 cents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
