I drive it fairly easy because the roads here are so boring. Every now and then I shift down and pass people just to get a kick for a minute. I wish I had some nice roads to carve, but the only ones I've found are in residential developments and I'd rather not kill a small child

i'd have to say this actually the perfect car for me. i always get pretty bad road rage in and around the city so it takes alot of heavy accelleration. swerving in and around other traffic, but then i hit the highway home and she cruises about 2200rpm. except of course when i really want to open it up for shits and giggles... usually around 3 am when the highway is completely dead. definitely love the feeling of dusting the hoards of civics and tegra's that seem to litter the city streets. even beat a few mustangs... older 5.0's of course but still embarrassing for them

Well, I do 100 fairly regularly, 115-120 when the road opens up. I've now upped my speed at one offramp corner to 70 MPH, and boy was it fun!!!!!!

I floor it maybe 4 or 5 times a week. Usually I take it easy on the acceleration to play the gas mileage game. I'm more into cornering and love to take them as fast as I can. Can't wait to get my lowering springs on.

I drive my car like it looks like it should be driven. Pretty fast. I usually only do this on the highways.
