I would have to say that driving the hell out of a POS is a lot of fun. I also hate driving my car really slow. I also don't like to hammer on it too much, because I paid a lot for it, and want it to last.

One last thing... Please use punctuation. It makes reading what you write a lot easier.

my DD is a chevy Z71 5.3 V8, and I gotta say it ain't fun, I also have a little old senter SE=R ragged high miles and not what one might call fast, honestly I'd bet the 0-60 and ET's are pretty close witht eh truck but the sentra is a lot more nimble and fun to drive, one of the most fun cars I've driven was a first gen MR2, slow as dirt but still fun as all get out to drive, turn on a dime and not enough power to get into trouble

power and speed isn't always fun, Buick GN, rides like a tank and feels like driving a truck, they have a huge following but these people have clearly never driven a sports car

I believe that the fast car slow is not really an option for me. Its slow car the way its made to be driven, and the fast car the way its made to be driven. I drive my Z the way it was made to be driven. I don't corner it hard or rev it out everytime i shift but i drive it like a sports car should be driven. Fast down the straights and nibble in the S-turns. I drive the sports car like a sports car. Its what it was ment for. And at least once a month i make sure its still fairly pleasant at 140+mph.
