Straight line acceleration is usually the first thing a new car owner becomes accustomed to ( and possibly bored with - it's the old phenomena of becoming " velocitized " , i.e., the car is still fast but you get used to it and become hungry for even more speed or rate of speed change). And with some of today's garden variety $35K " sporty sedans having better acceleration than mid-80s Porsche and Ferraris, there is a point now where one wonders how anyone can have any wide open throttle fun away from a track without seriously endangering oneself or others?
Nick has a point about buying a sports car that is fun to drive , sounds fun and is nice to stare at in the garage , even if you hardly ever go WOT in it.
Notice how there is very little talk about driving PLEASURE on any internet car board ? It's all bench racing, look at my new wheels/ego bashing or service /mechanical complaints.
Someone should start a board called " Iactuallyenjoy driving.com "



Well put. I'll join.
