I drive her gently most of the time because of traffic; no point in revving it when you can't go anywhere. When the road and conditions are clear, I drive it flat out, and keep my lawyer's # on speed dial. This car has the right handling and just enough power to fully apply on the road. Something like a Z06, though tempting, would always feel like you've had a Supermodel but only got a hummer.

exactly how i feel, because of how gas is, theres no point in revving the engine that high and speeding (not that you should anyway one the highway, save it for the strip) when gas was $1.33 yea i could deal with that but its not anymore... besides, with the 370 and its looks... your on speed...even when your not...

My VDC is always on...I have found that if I drive smooth and not force the VDC light to come on I am going faster and saving rubber.

On highways I drive 15 over the speed limit
On side streets I drive 10 over the speed limit
Around a cop I drive 5 over the speed limit

Get up to speed as quickly as possible and always downshift to 1st gear

I don't tailgate or otherwise annoy reasonable drivers...if they annoy me screw 'em...I will smoke them.

Ignore WRX's that want to "race"...

That should be rule # one, haha, or ignore all tuners/ricers/shitboxes that want to race.

Drive it as if you were married to Heidi Klum,
Poised and gracious around others and Balls out in the clear.
Followed up with a permagrin when done.
