That was so scary fast I never got used to it. Took off yesterday morning and put 125 miles on through some great backwoods countryside. Dozens of twisties. This is such a great car to enjoy in various ways.
Agreed.

10-mile freeway to work, I normally cruise at 75mph with or without radar/laser detector.

+1. I think my GSR is very quiet overall. In heavy traffic with the windows down, I need to look at the tach at stops to make sure the thing is still running. Compared to my 462CI Big Block Buick with Goerlich Exhaust, the EVO is very tame and subdued as far as noise. Very enjoyable to me.

The speed limit. No real need to push it any faster.

My MR seems to settle in nicely around 80. If I'm not paying attention and I look down at the speedo I'm inevitably doing around 75-80MPH.

When does everyone shift into 5th gear when just driving around in econo mode?
If its flat I complete the shift at 40mph.
