Every weekend I get to drive her. Freeway onramps and the occasional long stretch of highway when I know law enforcement isn't lurking are what she likes.I definitely give her an audience when I floor in the middle of a large stretch, and there are still neck breakers to this day. And then there's the intrigued douchebag who thinks he's stepping to a 2IS with a body kit. Never a dull moment with this one...

Took the car to Canada last year. After crossing the border there are a ton of long stretches. Let's just put it this way, I was WOT in almost every gear...

Well, I guess I'm different than most of you guys. To me, part of the beauty of the F is that you don't really need to "floor it" like you do with most other cars. Just a little pressure on the go pedal, and I can "fly". What a feeling, what a CAR!!!!!!

I can definitely agree with and appreciate this statement :-) Took a former mustang owner for a ride a few weeks ago and he was really impressed. Said he was waiting to see how it would pull into and after 4th since that's where some cars seem to taper off (in his experience). I told him that's one of the things I love about this car, it seems like acceleration is endless. I often run out of road before power/gear - haha.

As for time spent going WOT...like most seems like I'm in it at least once every time I get behind the wheel and mines my daily also. Can't stop, won't stop - haha I like it ;-)

I had fun beating on my F last night. It surprised me when I down shifted and went from about a 60 roll it spun a little and kicked *** end out. I was not expecting that. I was running my friends 2014 Camaro SS. No match for the ISF

Well, I cruised along the beach today for a bit after taking my wife to pick up some purse she found on craigslist and, partly because of this thread, took the "long" way home. Too much fun! It's probably a good thing my normal commute and daily driving is so restrictive.

I totally agree with Lou though. I don't need to floor it to get my enjoyment. I'm in love with this car every time I get behind the wheel, whether I'm driving through my normal city traffic, or on a long empty stretch of road.

Plenty when I'm by myself. Never when I have my 1 year old with me.

I didn't really think there was any other way to drive it. Then again there are days when I don't drive the F and then its like Christmas when I do.

I changed me accelerator peddle to a toggle switch, off or on. It gets tricky in traffic.

LOL!!!!!!!

Whenever I see a long freeway on ramp, which is every night when I leave work. Especially on ramps with high walls on both sides. I love the sound of the Sikky and Meistershaft. Oh don't even get me started on long tunnels such as under airport runways, all of my windows would be down and the sunroof open!

Our daughter (2yrs) was with us when I drove it home. Was in a merging lane and floored it. Once I let off, my daughter said "whoa." That was a proud dad moment. Then for the rest of the ride home, she kept saying "Daddy, go fast." lol. She's a bad influence.

To the OP: whenever I can.
