I accelerate up to the speed limit, on-ramps, quiet country roads. I hate street racers and people who drive stupid fast but there are times that I think are ok to drive illegally as long as you know what your doing.

What horsepower?

But I do always use my cars superior handling abilities whenever theres a corner and nobody in front of me. I have no reason to slow down for them, because I dont have to

Its better to have and not need , than to need and not have. Short passing zones for example, also its just more fun to have some extra power on call.

it's just curiousity.

from what i understand,
in the US highest Speed limit is 65mph in the highway.
most local roads have 40~50mph limit.
and if you didn't racing with other cars,
when do you need power and mods that you got?
parking lot drifting or racing practice is clearly illegal.
and basically, fast starting is illegal and dangerous.
also many cars can't pass the state test because of their tunning.
so left one is track racing. but how many ppl actually
go track periodically...


WRX and especially STi are designed to go fast, then
when do you usually use their power?

what car do you have?

track is where to go super fast and i like the stoplight nationals and d1 comes to the clover on ramp

some places in montana and texas dont have speed limits

the max i have found is 70 in the LA area

I use the power all the time. Getting up to speed, passing some jack *** on the highway who decides to go from 45mph and speed up when I'm trying to go around him..too bad for him on that one.

In some states (such as Nevada) you can find speed limits of 75.
