I started to feel old reading the post on this board. I am 35 with 2 kids. I am a business owner and I think I am pretty responsible. I would not do something that would put another in harms way. Accelerating at the cars maximum limit to 60 on a clear straight away is not wreckless in my opinion. After all isn't that one of the main reasons this car appeals to us? 0-30, 0-60, 1/4 mi. stats are great to read, and nice to know what our car can do in theory, but reality is more fulfilling. I know the raceway is the ideal place to stretch its legs. I don't know if I speak for many of you but I have never taken my Z to the drags and probably never will. But I will still like to enjoy its acceleration and if another car is next to me enjoying his/her cars acceleration even the better. Again I must disclose...I never race on crowded streets, no cops, no people, no streets that can surprise you with a car pulling in front of you, and never at high speeds. I apologize if I set off a pew pace makers and caused some of you to take your blood pressure medication early, but I just had to speak my mind.
