What is the appeal of very loud cars?

First off I accept I am not a car person. What is the attraction of driving a car around town so loud it sounds like it is broken? Just had 3 speeding cars go past my house and each one was so loud. Completely unnecessarily loud not factory loud. Do the drivers understand how loud their vehicle actually is? I can't be the only who always mutters "be\*\*\*\*d" every time I hear one of these. PS: They woke up my 3 month old (sleeping in the room furthest from the road but with a window open) who is struggling with chicken pox so it annoyed me enough to post this.
