How hard do you drive your SS?

As I was driving around today I realized I beat the cap out of my car all the time. I like it's power and speed and I utilize it on the daily. I guess I wonder if I'm the only one...I assume its meant to be driven hard right?

If you don't go wide open at least twice a week, you're doing it wrong.

That said, I'm with Orange. Depends what mood I'm in. Generally, I like to floor it at least once when I take it out... Only because there's a perfect stretch of road on my way home.

I get on it when I am on the on ramp and the back road to work everyday. Love it especially since I've upgraded my sway bars. Makes me love what I bought and drive.

I generally drive in a spirited fashion at the very least. I'm usually minding my own business when I'm driving around but it seems that more often than not, some asshole will pace me or ride my ass, which inevitably drives me batshit crazy. So I lay on the throttle a little bit more. If they aren't getting the clue, I'll step on it but, only briefly.

Every once in a blue moon, I'm just inherently aggressive behind the wheel and if you're on the road, you're in my way so, yeah...

I'm only hard on it for about 12.7 seconds at a time... The rest of the time it has an easy life.

The collection of worn rear tires and broken parts answers that one.

I like quick acceleration feel and the sound with the muff delete but then I usually ease off at city speed for safety and cops.

But yes, all the time.

I broke loose in third gear and got a little sideways this Saturday morning going on my donut run with my daughter....always fun to hear her laugh.

When I'm on the interstate & there's light traffic, as my wife says, I drive it like I stole it. In town, I (try) to stay out of it as much as possible ... very small town, speed limits strictly enforced.
