I like the feel of heavy acceleration. Aslo so bragging, and attention. But mostly the reaction I get from people I let sit in my car. Or from people standing outside the car. Also just like knowing I am faster than the other guy. But I don't just randomly modd the car, I do it with more precision. I correct things I don't like but make sure i can support that mod before i do it. Like next I am gonna change my motor mounts because the stock ones arent stiff enough,, and one is broken already .

Not so much bragging rights for me, but, similar to someone else who said that the car felt very fast when I first got it, and now that I'm used to that speed, I'm looking for more.

For me it's when I'm giving a friend a ride and showing off the car or even when I'm by myself just doing some pulls and it doesn't feel fast enough. Esp when someone else is in the car, I get to redline and I'm thinking... "that's it?"

Yeah, we can pretty much beat up V8's out there, but the car doesn't "feel" fast enough for some reason... it's fuggin addictive, that's for sure.

Putting my foot on the gas and getting thrown back in the seat. the smile on my face is all I care about, and the smile on other peoples after experiencing the result of the time and effort I've spent on my car is cool too.-

Because I like acceleration. And, now with the Evo, lateral acceleration as well. I just won't be modding the Evo quite yet, though.
