What a blast!

Just finished the break-in period on the car. Today was the first time that I could actually run it through the rev range and playing around with the gears under full throttle acceleration. Really neat!

Probably not the most responsible thing to do on public roads, but its just too much fun. Does everyone drive their 8 this way or is it just me?

mpg be damnned!!!

For me Yesterday was the first time too! It was after the Canzoomer install. 3500 miles and this was the first time that I opened her up!

Re: What a blast!

LOL, welcome to the dark side, lol...

Addictive, ain't it? I love going up the gears, then coming down through 'em to make a turn, blipping the throttle at every downshift, WHoooom.... WHOOOmmmm.... lol... god, it's such a chiidish pleasure, but... so what, lol. Every commute sounds like an F1 race now.

Two weeks into ownership, and I still pinch myself every time I climb into it. I can't believe I'm driving a car that's this GOOD

anyone do this yet? I usually get to work, park in the underground parking for the day. Last Friday for lunch, I take the car out for a lunchtime full throttle blast through the gears on the highway. Never did that before. I usually hang around downtown for lunch.

Must be F1 fever........ or more likely I'm addicted to 8.
