This is exactly why I dumped my Vette years ago and go into fast boats. No speed limits on the Chesapeake Bay. And no one yelling down at me for running wide open throttle when conditions allow it.

But then again, I wouldn't dare do that at night...like I used to in the Vette.

i got this car twice as a loaner and i would never take it to those speed.. i admit punching it here and there, but nothing over 100mph.. it felt heavy at times, but once it picks up speed, it does feel light..

i love how the interior lighting is all led... unlike the IS with the nasty yellow light still in the middle..
