Don't like the po-po following me.

Ditto, I tired of being followed by the police many years ago. No more loud, police attracting exhaust or driving for me. I've shifted from a drag oriented mind set to a corner carving mind set. So my driving is mild when it comes to acceleration, but I do tend to take corners as fast as i can without making the tires howl. I leave the tire howl turns to the autox events.

Please make an introduction thread. Welcome to the board.

Been a VERY long time since I have been profiled by 5ohs. It happened a lot when I had the Supra and some when I first got the C5 but that was years ago... and I live in Irving where the police are known haters. Actually I was coming down beltline across 161 and the speed limit drops like 10mph. I was doing 5 over what I thought was the speed limit, so 15 over the actual speed limit and the cop let me off with a warning.

No offense to any girls of course.

I've never done a hot and heavy burnout, but I've power braked and let them bad boys spin for a few seconds. But I punch whenever I need to, especially in morning DNT traffic. I would categorize myself as a very spirited driver...and that's what the car is designed for. I may hit a corner or 2 real hard just to get sideways and show out but no Vaughn Gitten like drifts. No heavy abuse, donuts, or power shifting the 6R80.

I baby it. Drive it like a sedan accord most of the time. No need to beat the shit out of it all the time. When I race I'm hard on it but most of the just a to b.

Just yesterday i was just going to take the car to get gas, decided to make 3 passes before i got to the gas station. There was another fox on draglites at the gas station when i got there. He was fooled by my 17inch bullitt wheels and i went and made two more passes in mexico and drove home.

I really don't get it out unless i intend to have fun. It's not my daily.

Pretty obvious how I drive mine. 37000 miles, a couple of hundred launches, and countless trips to Mexico. Of course, now that the '05 is sharing garage space, she only comes out on special occasions.

I can say this guy is full of sh*t lol. Nah, his comment is dead on. Tho he failed to mention no donuts, only burn outs at the track, only read lines when he is racing and fairly seldom does any pulls. He drives the car like I drove my 99' ranger

I've got on it a few times on the highway, but that's it. It's my DD so I prefer things to not be broken.

When I drive the Coupe.. I drive it hard. No crazy donuts or burnouts, don't want to wear out the tires. Do shift hard and let it pull as far as it will go..

**Grandpa** · 07-09-2013, 11:08 AM

I got 289 miles to my last tank of gas and that was with a couple of on-ramp blasts but the rest was grandpa driving. lol

**DirtyD** · 07-09-2013, 11:09 AM

I typically average 250-270 before I fill up.
