For those who like 100+, I can recommend sky diving. The kick will last for several days before you need to recharge.
I normally drive very responsible. But now and then I just need to use the whole rev range. The gear change when you hit the rev limiter is so smooth and nice
I have moved my rev limiter to 7000, how high have you gone without blowing the engine?

i went for the "hard to keep it under 100+++++" crowd
but i'd say i also fall under the "Take corners hard and fast!" category

i drive pretty easy based on some of the responses here actually, i just got my rod bearing changed and while the exhaust was out, i gutted the cat, and took out the weltmeister wastegate shim. it was detonating hard with the chips and the shim. so i kept my foot out of it untill the temps here drop below 115. but now with the stock chips i drive harder because i dont have to worry about detonation anymore! its like having a new car. i rarely shift above 5.5k. ok, i've done it twice... scary fast, i love it
take care,
brian

I highly recommend jumping out of a perfectly good airplane for the ultimate in adrenaline rushes!
While on the ground, my Porsche only operates in two modes, full-throttle or stopped! I have actually broken that nylon stop-screw under the gas-pedal! And I get about 3000 miles maximum out of a set of tires, no matter what kind they are.
Brian, ready for a +50hp upgrade ??? heh, heh...

I keep telling myself that I'm just blowing the carbon out, but it never really gets a chance to build up. With the way these cars handle you can even have fun while driving at the speed limit. Shifting at redline in anything other than 1st is kind of a waste of time, all you are doing at that point is making a lot of noise.
