Yes it does, if you drive it that way. It never gets stale, it puts a permagrin on your face as soon as it fires up. It's a joy to drive around town, and even more so on long road trips.

It's not about the size of the boat, it's about the motion in the ocean

sometimes it is the size and speed of the boat. Watch Miss Geico go full throttle at 1:30 and leaves the rest to watch her move it...

My painter only has like 92729372 cars in front of mine

his shop drive is full from dealers just dropping stuff off. Realistically I think there is only 1 or 2 cars in front of me.... I hope.

It feels like a roller coaster, but that feeling can become normal to an extent. But that's when you add headers or maybe a cam or supercharger and then it really feels like a roller coaster.

Don't think that you NEED to move to the V8 though. The V6 is a stout package and can certainly move out of its own way. Just customize the car and make it yours. One thing I noticed at least when I wanted to go from an I4 to V6 Honda was that there really wasn't very much difference. Faster yes, but not worth going more in debt. Obviously different cars here but to me I think it would be a similar feeling.

I love powerboats. I saw one about a mile out while I was on the beach in Destin and could still hear it. Massive rooster tail

Trust me, you never get used to a tuned L99. Shit tries to break your neck in each shift.

So it's like driving a manual but slamming the gears perfectly every single shift? Lol dunno if I could do that

Sometimes if I don't have the right shoes on, when it shifts into 3rd my foot slides off the accelerator.

If you've already got a v6, I would save up to go to a ZL1 and skip the SS completely.

I've had the laziest Friday at work in a long time today, and you guys are boring me with the lack of participation.

My day is fast, slow, fast, slow, fast... and now slow again. Then my last meeting of the day at 2:30!! YES.

Cars and Coffee tomorrow. I am going to see how many people are killed/injured by Mustangs. The cruise-in in the evening. Lunch downtown. Just a beautiful day to take the car all over the place.
