what's funny is when i am driving and come across other 240s usually they are speed racering everywhere. stoplight to stoplight, trying to wear out their clutches and brake pads as quickly as possible.

then s14sr with 6psi, and i would floor it up to the speed limit or so. past that it was pointless. I think i would run it up through the gears once a day or so.
with the matrix i drive like the first one^

sometimes if im not gonna draw attention ill speed up to the speed limit just to hear the BOV go off. other than than I feel stupid going to the top of 2nd gear and making a lot of noise just to have them pass me once i slow down.

Never. It's my only DD w/ 158,xxx miles. It gets me to work, school, and home x5 days a week without any trouble. No reason to floor it even if someone wants to race me... it's pointless. Grandpa drivin' it son...

I would WOT my call all the time on 8psi. Several times per trip, including trips up the street to Subway, etc. On high boost, I'd have to intentionally go out somewhere and plan to do it. Usually 28th St or 275. I don't think that counts in the scope of the original question, though. The car also wasn't a daily driver, so I would have been in a driving mood if I was in it.

Then again, I floor the Element, the old tC, and Altima regularly. Some say I drive too fast.
