I finally had a chance to use the DS mode! 
And WOW! 
I was on the 605 freeway (in the second lane from right) and a stinking Neon ricer pulled up to me, looked over and starting punching it.... Then Im thinking, I dont think so buddy, and I slam it into DS and zoom, zoom, zoom, Im up to 120 in a blink, and pass him like he was standing still. He must have been in state of awe.. 
...you know in my book..shock and awe babie!!!!! 
MAN I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

It is awesome...I usually cruise at 80mph (traffic flow rate) and it is amazing how stable the car is on those occasions when you kick down a gear or 2 and shoot past 100mph. At first I was thinking my speedo was off because it is so smooth (other than the feel of RFTs) it really feels like good ol 65mph!

Oooo you have gone mad! hahaha NICE. But Eh Neon... blah... was it the SRT4? 
Even though there are plenty of cars that are faster, I've never really wished for more speed, until recently however. This one guy on my street has a GTO and just really annoys me. He's cut me off a few times and on the main street to my house, he accelerates right to my bumper and then passes in the other lane. We happened upon a red light side by side just the other night and usually I'd give him a quick sprint just for fun, but since the guy drives like a prick, I don't want to give him any satisfaction.
I've driven a '05 model before and 400bhp or not, it just crap. Sure it's plenty of hp for the money, but just not my taste.
