How the **** do you guys refrain from always going WOT with this car. I'm still trying to brake everything in but all I want to do is mash that **** pedal!!

I agree it's hard not to.

Today a Honda was next to me at a light...I always jump a little fast to the speed limit, he try's to stay with me (floored) as I approach 45 I ease off and he leaves it floored as he drives by blasting smoke out of his tailpipe....got to love it.

Some things in life are just too hard to do, this is one of them.

That's funny, one of the reasons I'm getting this car is to help me drive like a normal person. When I'm driving my ZL1 with around 625hp I have a very difficult time not getting myself in trouble. The only thing that stops me at times, is the thought of having to come home and face the wife and tell her. I keep hoping she is the first one to get the ticket ... LOL ...

This one may actually be more difficult SlingShot. The ZL1 scared off challengers just being a ZL1. I had a lowered accord try me yesterday, think he thought it was a Malibu SS. You'll get challenged more because nobody knows. Yet. :thumbsUp:

 

[SlingShot]

^^^^

That actually sounds like fun, the ZL1 does attract yahoo's in their pickups and SRT8's for sure ... Silly SRT8's !!!

 

[15SuperSport]

It is pretty entertaining.

No one has challenged me yet in my Mystic Green, must be true what "Smokin' Tires" says: "This color is invisible".

I am gettin good at shuttin down the 'nannies' and slidin the stick to the right real quick when I pull up next to a newer Merc or Jag or Audi at the light---- just in case!!!! Yesterday did it twice and I was correct in assuming these guys do not know the capabilities of this 'sleeper'. After the first conquest, I got a thumbs up at the next light!!! Kinda makes me feel 30 again. LOL

I had owned my car literally 4 hours when I decided to go grab something to eat one night. On my way home I was in the center lane stopped at a light and I see a car stop behind me...and as there was no one in the far right he decides to slide over into that lane. Now we both knew that lane merged into mine after about 50 ft or so. I couldn't tell what the car was as it was too dark but either way it didn't matter. I didn't even really go hard off the line since I was still getting used to the feel of the car, but I was still easily almost a full car length ahead of him quickly. Then I gave it a little more to get separation and in the short time span of looking forward, then checking my rear, then looking at the HUD again I was at 75 and he was a distant memory.

I got challenged on the test drive with the wife and no salesman by a BMW, 435i I think. I guess the result goes without saying, I bought the SS that was on the way to the dealership.

Speedometer

I think the SS speedo should read only 3 speeds "legal, ticket and jail time".
I might have hit 122mph on a closed road the other day I'm amazed how composed the car is even at triple digits. Btw I emailed Hennessey about their power packages for the SS. I'll post once they get back to me.

Had a G37 modified challenge me at a light. No idea if he knew what my car was or not. I pulled away pretty easily. Had him beat by 2 car lengths to the next light.

He just turned and drove off. No commentary.

Was trying to socialize with a guy in a Corvette but he wouldn't pay any attention to a "Malibu", so I gave it a little gas and after he caught up he lowered the window, stared at the Brembo's, put the window back up and continued to ignore me.

oh well.

:kboom: Boy that guy in that Kia Optima was surprised today! Revving up on me...

I think that was a bit of an overkill, I used to make fun of those in my V6 Genesis...I do love the way they look though.

 

[15SuperSport]

Had fun with a GTI today on my way home. Besides his aftermarket fart cannons it was a really nice looking car. Chatted a little at the next light, nice kid.

 

[nsx276]

Went on my favorite road today, speed limit is 35-45, very curvy. Left it in 3rd-4th gear to listen to the sound of the engine pulling from lower rpms 2-4k and it sounded great. Speed didn't matter, radio off, sunroof open and just listened to the engine purrrr...

 

[slivoman]

Still only 500 miles. I'm waiting for a few more to break in the tranny well, then I will hit those paddles and run her hard a little!! For now the occasional WOT while doing cruising is enough to make me smile from ear to ear.....and they say money can't buy happiness!!!
