My driving style did calm down a bit after I lost my license though.

Daniel Member 299 Member For: 23y 2m 12d Gender: Male Posted 25/07/09 11:54 AM Posted 25/07/09 11:54 AM Since I got my F6 I can honestly say each time I have retuned it I get a new found respect for what I am driving and my driving changes accordingly.Day to day I generally pot around under 1500rpm or 2000rpm if I want to be ahead of the general people from the lights, but sure I still have a play when I go for a drive in the hills or get a suitable road to stretch her legs; if I didn't then I'd be an absolute fool to own it, financially that is!When I jump in slower cars, I seem to drive a bit harder around town than I do in mine.. In these cars there is a very fine line between tame and placid to aggressive and what can be simply brutal.A real eye opener is when you drive other people around or even let them drive your car(the ones you trust and know how to drive), but they are either unaware of what the car can do or just not used to power of any sorts LOL.

I think I'd worry myself if I was my own passenger and pushing it a bit hahaha...feels sedate in drivers seat when I'm driving normally, but do realise passengers feel it a bit differently. Guess knowing and expecting the movement is what does it.Need real mods! Intake and filter doesn't cut it. >_>I think my driving style will remain similar, acceleration wise, once modded. That is, zip up to limit and stay there, no tyre squeal...but will get there faster

Posted 26/07/09 11:06 PM Posted 26/07/09 11:06 PM The missus is an effective speed limiting device, but what's really slowed me down is having a kid. I'm often one of the slower cars on the road now.

Still give it a boot every now and then but nowhere near as much as when it was stock, I guess its a bit scarier when u break traction from WOT at 60kph, when it was stock it never even broke traction off the line in the dry haha but I must say I am over this power and need more
