You do know that you won't get there any faster than I will, don't you?
This isn't Formula One, you know! Or -- horrors! -- NASCAR. Or, the horror of all horrors of Motorsport, the idiocy of drag racing!
Note that none of those sports are legal on public roadways.
My best to you. Enjoy your fast driving. Just do so safely under controlled conditions.
Upon a visit to San Francisco once I saw a Porshe 911 flipped over on the guardrail between the northbound and southbound interstate. What kind of stupid person drives like that? What kind of stupid person thinks that speed is what driving is about? That more horsepower is better?
I prefer safe driving. No need for any more horsepower than is necessary. I used to own a diesel Rabbit. It had 28 HP. That was enough for me to drive halfway across the country and back every year for quite a few years. I got close to 60 MPG on that vehicle. And I could keep up with interstate speed limits. What more does one want?
