no necessarily, most cars would do it anyway, but you just hear it because they have a loud exhaust, go to a BTCC event and hear all the cars do it on the track!

Correct me if im wrong boffins... but I believe, its combination of a free flowing exhaust allowing the gases to pass through the system, and overfueling. The amount of fuel that gets fed into the cylinders is determined by the ECU, if excess amounts of fuel are passed in its called overfueling and often it passes through the outlet and into the exhaust system. When this excess fuel is burnt in the exhaust it causes a small explosion which will make a pop noise or sometimes flame depending on how much there is and where in the system it takes place.
