Why not?
Out for a drive yesterday, I turn into a long on ramp, off to the side are 4 semi's with the 4 drivers standing there BSing about something, as soon as I entered the ramp I had 4 sets of eyes on me, so I figure "why not" did some aggressive gear changing and the Magnaflows were singing pretty loud. All sets of eyes followed me to the top of the ramp and one guy shoves a 
into the air. Made my day, dosen't take much to make me happy.

On Ramps
On ramps are so much fun! Just the other day, someone was tailgateing me as I entered a down-hill on ramp. I guess they just wanted to see if they could keep up with a Vette. Well, I let them stay close 'till just at the bottom of the ramp, then I nailed it! Said "Bye-Bye" and left him in my dust! He quickly dissappeared in my rear-view mirror. Of course, I never exceeded the posted speed limit.

Way to go! 
I love doing that especially watching my boost gauge peg as I do the 40-75mph full throttle launch! I come out of the on ramp and into the interstate already at the proper cruising speed. Probably amazes some of the other drivers watching this thing aggressively appearing like that! 
Fun stuff, just have to make sure your right hand lane is clear before starting the launch.
