Note to self: 6th to 4th downshift routinely leaves passengers asleep, hot 4th to 3rd however...
Maybe it was pilot error? After all, I must have made <i>some</i> better downshifts over the years?
Maybe I actually <b>said</b> "Whoa!" as I picked up 3rd, dropped the hammer, and broke around the left lane bandit - nearly simultaneously realizing that: <i>the gap to that motorhome is a fair bit smaller than I would have picked</i> and <i>we <b>won't</b> be needing the HP-2s for THIS play...</i>
Maybe it was just a disturbance in the earth's magnetic field caused by two K03's on the boil being given their heads, snorting 40degree air, and howling their rage at the world?
Whatever it was, she awoke enough to grab the chicken rail as we catapulted from the double-nickel to nearly twice that, but she was asleep again within 20 seconds!
Ahhh, working through weekend traffic in record time with the wife and son both asleep.... have I mentioned how <b><i>much</i></b> I love this car?

Good read : ))
I found myself coming home last night from work kinda late so traffic was not bad at all. 59degrees, running ~97octane, a SVT mustang and 350Z were playing. They took off and I followed, holy schmoly,,,,, I was braking like a big dog cause I crawled up the Z's rear so fast it caught me by surprise!!! SO I just backed off and continued on my way, the old-n-slow way!
Gotta love the colder weather, its almost as if someone added another turbo to our cars!!
