Most of the times I obey the speed limits. But some times I step on the gas (Hospital emergencies) This is a small town and most of the people respect the EVO.

^^ yea that's nuts dude...its cool to have FQ owners chime in every now and then. I used to drive a '98 BMW M Roadster. The car would just ask for more, i couldn't help driving fast everywhere. However, getting 5 tickets in less than a year changed my attitude real quick. I was just a magnet in that car i guess. I now drive a BRIGHT *** red evo and the cops leave me alone, althought i don't speed regularly anymore.

The Audi is alittle quicker, so I'm hovering around speeds of 100MPH more often these days. So I was wondering how do you guys normally drive, I've seen a lot of EVOs on the freeways and you guys are straightflying , and you know who you are. So how fast do you drive?
Mid to high 11s at 120+! LOL Really on the freeway u will usually see me in the slow lane in the Evo. Only use it when needed.

I really have to get on my civic to get it goin anywhere (read: no torque and automatic) so I'm usually driving kinda fast. I dog it pretty bad and I'm surprised the tranny hasnt given out yet. Just got a ticket this past new years so I have slowed down some recently. Not like dangerous and a**hole driving, but faster than 60% of people.

Wow no maniacs yet I'm surprised. Ok who drives the BBY EVO on the 60 Freeway in Southern California at speeds of 130MPH+??? I thought I was going fast, but damn!!! I don't usually drive like a maniac now, I do drive really fast, but if there is traffic, I slow it down, but I'm pretty busy at times, so I kind of always feel like I'm in a rush. Some of the free time I have, I like to spend here .

Eh, really depends on the mood I'm in.

Usually I drive moderately, especially after my accident. If I'm pissed or amped, I hammer the pedal!

most of the time I drive pretty fast. 15-20 over on the freeway and pretty much always at least 60 on sideroads, doesn't really matter what the limit is, except for school zones. I have a kid and know I wouldn't want anyone driving crazy around her school.

I usually drive close to the speed limit on back roads...usually no more than 10 over...I guess I'm getting old...

The speed limit on I-75 here is 70, so everyone drives 80-90...it's no big deal...

The speed limit unless no one is looking then since I'm not looking I can't say. I know it's just after that place in the power band where you hear the turbo really whistle.

My goal is to keep it under 20 over the speed limit so if I do get caught I don't get "reckless driving"
