Very satisfying.
There's a spot, on my drive back to work, where the highway goes from two lanes to four. As we approach that spot, traffic slows a bit and gets a little heavier.
In the left lane, with about 4 car lengths ahead of me and a long choo-choo train behind me, I'm being tailgated by someone who isn't happy with the prevailing 65mph. He must think it's my fault that we're actually doing only
10mph above the posted 55.I hate playing choo-choo. Not very good at it, really. I always leave too much room in front of me. Damn.
Here it comes... An extra lane on the right and an extra lane on the left. Huh? Nobody wants the passing lane? I'll take it.
Dropped down to 3rd at 65 and kicked the old pony up to 100. (I should say, crested a little above 100 and settled right back down to 80.)
No more tailgaters.
TFrog is definitely showing its age, but can still get up in a hurry.
The Dynomax Ultraflows sound better all the time (which makes me think they'll probably have to be replaced soon). I had to park and get out to check my mailbox the other day, and noticed how nice (and low) the exhaust sounded, as I walked behind the car. I never get to hear it, usually...
That, and it probably needs a good tune-up. It's developed an uneven idle, which makes the car look and sound like it's got that old "lopey cam" thing going on.
Funny. The more things that go wrong with this car, the more I like it.
