"Drive it like you love it" is my philosophy, but that doesn't mean I won't put the pedal to the metal when the time is right.... I think I only have about 1300 miles on mine; it's more of a museum piece I happen to drive every other week or so.

As for me, if I buy a new Z06, I'll get 'er up to 195 every time I get on I-10.

I prefer to spend as much time in "Neutral" as I can. I even fashioned a little sail so I can take advantage of tail winds.
