I keep it on the track. I like to drive fast on the street but nothing stupid. I know when to be easy on the accelerator

Please keep in mind that this poll is what you did and/or what you do. Not what you wish you'd do or done or what you wish others would do.

I honestly believe in track only. But I must confess that when I hear the engine roar, and make that eye contact. It's hard not to get on it. I haven't done anything crazy to seriously endanger myself and others, but I must be honest. When I bought my car I wasn't thinking of the track alone... more street. I most likely take 1 out every 5 challenges I get on the street. I wish we have a track within an hour away from where I live to provide some release. Then maybe I can say, I won't race on the streets anymore.

I believe buying a high hp car and not taking it to the streets even once is like saying... I go to the gym and pump iron everyday, but I always cover my muscles with baggy clothes when I am in public. I only show them in the gym or when I am competing.

So if somebody sees you driving fast and tries to catch you, you always slow down and give them a way like you'd give an ambulance a way?

Good question. I definitely don't go looking to race, but I do find myself with a need to get out of packs of slow drivers.

Just wondering where the "Drive normally on street" choice was... If you habitually race anywhere but the track you have no respect for yourself or for others.

My driving style isn't listed in the poll! How about us older guys that don't race at all, but enjoy the power the GT provides to get us around those "old folks" puttering down the road.

I can't vote in this poll. I like to cruise. Tunes up, windows down.
