Oh, I am definitely one of them love the driving experience types...My first car was a sports car, an Eagle Talon...Manual shift too, man that little fucker could fly...It was Turbo and AWD, pulling off it that baby was great...Rather than work on my Charger, I think I might restore that baby first, I got plennie ass in them back seats, riding in it may do me lots of good...I remember tho, being late at night and setting my cruise on that mofo on 130...

That's a nice little 25 mile ride knocked out in 11 mins for those that have been keeping up with my Phi-Knight Math...

heh I would love to be able to set my cruise at 130. Unfortunately, Nissan for whatever reason decided to make 91MPH the fastest you can set the cruise control on the 2003 350Zs. My favorite part is doing 3-4x the posted speed limit on the on ramps to the toll-road/highway. Very cool feeling hugging the inside line of the increasing radius 270 degree turn, RPM's in the 3.5-4K range, and then just leaping out of the end of that corner and passing the traffic on the highway while still in the merging lane.

my heart rate is getting elevated just thinking about it.....I shoulda been a formula1 driver I think

Ayhja--

Is that with the windows up or down, and was the air conditioning on or off. You should start a show called...oh i don't know...'Mythbusters'!

J/k that is great you did this experiment.

I am wiith raum and emanon, driving is an experience for me. I didn't swap the Chev 350 into my 78 Landcruiser just so I could buy some new ceramic coated headers. It was so I could haul ass, and do it wherever I go, on road and off.

LoL, funny you should say that, as I don't have AC or a radio in my car for the time being...So, its probably why I do these kinds of things anyway..!
