When do you get a chance to put you foot down...
I was wondering, what with majority of us owning very powerful cars... when do you really get a chance to put foot down... and stay within the legal requirements...
Who likes the feeling of accellaration and who likes the speed...
Your views...???

I think people sometimes confuse speed and acceleration. The former isn't really that exciting- most of the thrill of high speed runs is derived from the fact that it's against the rules! ;-) Sustained high speed in a straight line is rather uneventful.
It's the acceleration, braking and cornering forces that make driving exciting, both physically and psychologically. You can do this within the NSL, but the kind of roads that are amenable to this are less common than we'd all like!

abolutley knackering yourself going through a set of complex, tight corners at stupid speeds you couldnt do in your 306, and concentrating so hard you nearly **** ya sen!!! had the car a few weeks, and even looking out the window at it has a big stupid grin on my face!

I think its the whole off the lights thing that gibves the buzz when all whels hook up and your off ...only upto 30mph ofcourse 
but as said below corners are fun, and especially on track when you can push it
Haven't had my car for 7-8 weeks now, just bben driving 1.2 corsa's and toyota yaris's (hire cars), so think the right foot maybe heavy for a while once its back next week lol
