Default It feels so good...

After about two months of ownership the one thing I have really notices about this car is it has the great/terrible ability to make you feel like Schumacher. I find myself carving through traffic for no reason other then it just feels like what I should be doing. I feel lower, smaller, quicker, and more responsive then anyone around me. I have never had a car make me feel like this!



ps. I have to get a radar detector...FAST!

Yup, same here. Passport 8500 X50 or the cordless Passport S2. I drive right at the speed limit most of the time, but it's good insurance.

I've had mine for less than a week, and I'm going for joy rides every chance I can get. As for feeling like a F1 pilot, I just registered for a personalized license plate in memory of my hero: "SENNA V" (The "V" for "Victory").

Try late night or early mountain runs that are local to you...

That's always fun...

That helps free up stress for me at times as well...

When I used to drive in Ireland at 9/10ths (10/10ths sometimes), I could always tell it had been a good run when I got out of the car and my hands were shaking.

I agree entirely ... I get the same feeling on an quick motorcycle, but the S is a hell of a lot safer and more practical for my needs.

I know what you mean. Sometimes I feel like an F1 car stuck in a NASCAR race.
