depends what mood i am in. if its a nice saturday and traffic is nice and busy on route 29 or 100 in columbia, i chill in the middle lane doing the speed limit listening to the tune of 2400 rpm hitting some low tone note. everyone knows its fast, some people dont know what it is and wonder where that low tone HUMMMMMM down the high way is coming from.
drive safely and dont hurt yaself
only time i let it rip is wee hours of the night with no one around and high beams blasting...but i never go above 70 mph : )

Congradulations: you just made 100 my350z members jet out of work to go find roads

There are some cool narrow country roads here in central new york (nothing that pretty) but some rolling hills, up past some farms, never any traffic, some old farmer guy that waves to me whenever I go flying past (or maybe he's waving me to slow down...)

i understand where hes coming from. the first week i had my z i ad to listen to classical music just so that i wouldnt speed.

my third day in my corvette i was racing a camaro SS and got pulled over for doing upwards of 100 in a 60.

hard lesson to learn, but i got it down now. I absolutely refuse to speed or race anymore. +5 mph above posted is my limit. the rest is under controlled conditions.

Here is PA, here is the law for 31+

Excessive Speeding
When a driver is convicted for speeding 31 miles per hour or more over the posted speed limit, the driver will have to attend
a Departmental Hearing. The driver will receive a written notice of the specific time and location of the required hearing. The
hearing examiner will review the driving record. Upon the Department's review of the hearing file, one or both of the following
will be initiated:
1. 15 Day License Suspension
2. Special On-Road Driver's Examination
If a 15 day suspension is initiated, the driving record will show 5 points upon restoration. No points are removed if a special
driver's examination is initiated and completed.
Failure to attend this Departmental Hearing will result in a 60 day license suspension.


Oh, and your insurance company will bend you over pretty good too.
