Most of these boy scouts on here are full of shiit!!! If you don't get that rush for adrenaline, then you don't need to be in a sports car or your car sucks azz and isn't right for you. I hit triple digits during the test drive like someone else had mentioned so to hear your guys say you always keep it at or under 55-60 is hilarious. I don't street race, but I haul azz when i get the urge as i'm sure most of you do, but i get it................ Shhhhhhh Trips Is Watching.

If you think making a certain number appear on your dash is cause for a rush, try taking your car to an HPDE, or Autocross. Heck even a good drag strip can make the numbers on your dash an afterthought.

Better yet, Let Z1NONLY drive your car and you ride on the Dragon. Dang made me turn sheet white and was killing my neck. It was fun though even though he slowed down because I went said white.

75 out here... So you get to use about two inches of speedometer most of the time.

I'm not trying to say that I always obey all traffic laws. I'm saying that good sports cars make high speeds themselves uneventful.

I'd even go a step further and argue that people who get excited over going 130mph in a straight line for long periods... probably aren't very accustomed to performance driving.

Do you get excited when going hundreds of miles per hour in a passenger jet? (At cruising altitude when nothing else is going on? ) No? What if you had a speedometer disply on the seat-back in front of you? I mean the number would be impressive...but there is no "feeling" to cause a "rush" unless you hit turbulance or something.

It's the same thing when driving a stable vehicle in a straight line at a steady speed....the speed doesn't matter when it's steady or changing at a fraction of the rate you could accelerate at much lower speeds. Nothing is happening.

The fear of getting caught or having something happen without time to react might cause a "scare", but it's not something I would seek out for its own sake.
