Default Will the feeling ever go away........

Driving down a straight road, Your palms are sweety, going 70 MPH per hour on 3rd gear and going faster by the second, Your heart is pounding, Your Vision is only concentrated on the road, shifting so fast it becomes a natural instinct. Then looking down at the speedometer with a HUGE SMILE on your FACE and just thinking "Wow".

Man.......... Everytime I go fast, I just get exited! and Everytime I just think "I love my CAR!"

For those who have been driving MT for a while, I know you know what I'm talking about.

Does the feeling ever go away? because I dont want to lose that feeling, Its awesome!

Yup.

But hitting a twisty road and rev matching all on your own never gets old.

When I first got the 370z I thought it was a duckin race car in a straight line(first real sports car).. Now it feels slow. Still fun to drive though!

No matter how fast the car is you get used to it after a while and want more...

Right on, right on...my brother is building a 800+ whp SS and a 550 whp Camaro to satisfy his addiction for speed. Some will play video games, while others head to the track.

It's like any other relationship you have...the joy is discovering new ways to keep it exciting.

But to answer your question, yes that feeling will go away eventually. You will ALWAYS seeking for more power.
