They are usually quick to point out how unsafe and childish all of you (us) are!

I just nailed her today, and she like it!
Was getting on a long 2 lane on-ramp, was behind a malibu, swung over to the right lane and hit it, just as I pulled up along side the malibu the OMG gear kicked in, the exhaust roared and light speed was accomplished!

At least every time I drive it. I try to exercise "selective speeding" to avoid any tickets - sometimes my right foot gets the better part of me and I end up kicking myself for getting on it where I really shouldn't have. 
I find the handling to be just as much fun as the acceleration. I actually "felt" the active handling for the first time the other day - that was pretty cool.

Every chance I get especially with the manual tranny. 
Really like coming out of the toll booths. I even slow down to the required 15 mph in the EZ Pass lanes just so I get more bang coming out. Of course always leveling out at 65 mph as is the posted speed limit. 
Once I had a state trooper flash his window light at me I guess as a warning when I stepped on it out of a toll booth - never speeding just accelerated quickly (plus my last car had a loud exhaust).
