Everytime I drive my car it seems like I'm beating on it lol...probably becuase I don't drive it that often so when I do I want to get the most out of it. How many of you guys actaully get on it most of the time your driving? Or do you just get on it a few times during a drive? Or finally how many are just cruizers?
Ricky :cool:

Ok so everyone on the forum doesn't exceed the speed limit...but to get to the speed limit do you get on it and hit the higher rpms (4k-5k) or do you just change at the 2.5k mark? I'm usually doing 4k and switching upto the speed limit of ocurse

I have my fun taking exit ramps faster than the traffic going straight.

On-ramps are fun too, when somebody speeds up trying to block me out. I always get a kick out of that one.

I never speed for more than 10 seconds at a time, first 10 seconds gets me to 135 mph and the next 10 seconds.....

I have a 270 degree exit ramp off the highway coming home from work...I look forward to it every day.

I get really pissed if someone exits in front of me so I try not to let that happen ;)

I drive my car pretty aggressively. That's what it was made for! I took it to 175 last week, and I really want to top 200 in it!

I try to get the best possible gas mileage. Shift to neutral down hills, sixth gear at 50mph, use the 1 to 4 skip shift every chance I get.....

A guy at the gas station looks over and says 'must get REALLY bad gas mileage'. I looked at the Viper and said, it doesn't REALLY matter, now does it.

I drive my car pretty normally on the roads, but I drive mine most every day. Still, getting onto the freeway or on cloverleafs can be great fun when the road is clear.

I also find it funny when some woman in a SUV or kid in a Civic thinks that they are going to zoom ahead to block me from getting onto the freeway. :laugh:

So generally I'm no speed demon on the street but with the Viper it is always tempting.

Since I have a SC now; its a thrill to do 4 boost to 5000RPM runs on a calm sunday morning with my V1 detector. Incredible rush and then back to reality. I watch the boost and rpms(its over by the time I look at the speedo). DLM advised not to do anything "spririted" until I was boosting in second. From most of the threads I have read,most SRTs break something on hard starts in first. Also after every hard boost its recommended to let the SC cool down a few minutes. I never do this unless traffic is light.

Generally, I drive just normally. Once in a while (not even everytime I drive), I give it a good acceleration run but that is rarely. I get so much fun driving the car that speed is not necessary. Car already looks like it is going fast ;) .
