I personally enjoy going through a cone slalom or offset at about 40mph in second gear more than hitting 127mph on a highway. I always got... an empty feeling. "Okay, I'm going at top speed... and all I feel is fear that I'm going to hit a deer and resentment about how much gas I'm using."

I'd rather watch James May hit the top speed in a Veyron than hit the top speed in a tC myself.

At my first racing school, the instructor asked me how fast I was going down the long straight on the track.

"Oh man, I think I saw it get up to 105."

"What the hell are you doing looking away from the road when you're doing 105 miles an hour?"

It was a pretty deserved verbal flogging when you think about it... so I'll say the same to you.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING LOOKING AWAY FROM THE ROAD AND MESSING WITH THE CAMERA ON YOUR PHONE WHEN YOU'RE DOING 122 MPH?
