Yes, after riding in a much faster car, you do. But like LookinAtMyPlate said, that's when you start modding.

Yea, after about a week it feels slow, but then you'll get in it one day and it will scare you again, and it starts all over again.

If you go WOT at least once a day it will probably get old after awhile. My formula is my daily driver so I drive it a lot. I'll go days sometimes without really getting on it, but when I do it's like whoa. I don't remember how it was driving the 300rwhp version I know the 400rwhp version doens't get old. If you have enough money it will NEVER get old. When you get complacent you just mod away.

I wouldn't say it gets old you just get used to it. Then you add bolt ons, then exhaust, then conveter and shift kit, then ... well I think you get the pictue.

that's what i wanted to hear,, i'm psyched as hell to get this beast tommorrow!! probly any decent money i get in the near future will go towards performance mods tho, so it sounds like as long as i keep modding it won't get old...unless I drive in a Viper Hennessey or somthing...

meh, all things that once tickled you get old. It's called life and non of you in this thread can deny it. Somedays I'm really sick of my car and others it feels like I'm behind the wheel of an expensive exotic (in relativity).

Driving in and around the city, I rarely go over 3k rpm...

then every once in awhile, I say **** it and rip it... gotta love the 5-4 downshift with a chirp in the middle of the highway... scares the **** out of the kids that think they can run with you...
