Unfortunately, people can and have been nailed with tickets for doing this, even if they don't exceed the speed limit.
Cops call it "exhibition of speed." In California, it counts as 2 points on your record and they can impound your car and charge you with a misdemeanor. Same goes for any launch which results in chirping tires.
I guess the cops here have better crap to do.
Like keeping it the safest large city in the country.
"Need" as in "meet requirements". Meaning, the performance of a prius or 1966 VW meets requirements for entering a freeway.
Need as in "meet requirements." Meaning the library offers public access to the internet, so I hope you not using a private ISP. You don't need one. See how that works? Whenever you start assessing others' "needs" others can do the same to you and you come off looking immature and hypocritical.
To satisfy the need to own one after having been convinced to do so from watching too much TV.
To get more chicks.
Oh come on. Are we getting a bit ridiculous here?
Everyone has their own interests in life. This is the reason one get up in the morning to live.

What's with the defensive responses? It is more a question : if you own a high performance car, but just toot around town and never speed, what are you getting out of this experience?
More a question than an accusatory condemnation, though some of you seem to be taking it that way.

You do not have to speed to get going fast, accelerate better, etc.
It is just FUN.
