Accelerating through 3500+ rpm in 3rd gear...zoom. Cars in the rear view mirror don't just fall behind, they evaporate.

I'm with you on this. It just keeps pulling, and it isn't close to done yet. It's a sweet zone that other cars just don't have.

It's fun to surprise my office mates when I don't brake for the flat right-hander that leads to our regular lunch spot. I just coast in with the rpm's around 3000 and accelerate through. They grab handles and laugh nervously. Sedans aren't supposed to turn like this.

I also dig SMG, the voice commands and the computer's robot accent when it talks to confirm what number to dial.
