feeling better about yourself is the reason you bought your car vs. something uglier, slower, but more practical. there's no other reason if you felt good about your purchase.

it's also the reason people do just about anything - to feel better about themselves. it's the reason that some don't add HP but take HPDE instruction; so they can feel better about beating some guy with a faster car using skill alone.

it's the reason people post questions on forums like this, so they can justify what their own decisions so they can feel better about themselves. it's the reason that people take care of their children, so they feel like good parents. or the reason people go to church, or do well at their jobs.

it's not sad; it's human. and it's also the inspiration for people to do good, help others, or other amazing things.

I don't quite understand what you're saying. Is it that it is OK to feel more self esteem because your car has more horsepower?
