VERY good point.
I find myself sometimes driving down the highway, in the midst of other traffic and not in the passing lane, thinking "My car is a 911...I've got nothing to prove."
This is especially true when young drivers of modified Japanese cars festooned with graphics pull up next to me. Or owners of new Mustangs.
If I want to drive aggressively, I'll save it for the empty back roads of my choosing, or better yet DE's or other track events. I enjoy my 911, even when I don't drive it fast.
There is something to be said for graduating from Brit sports cars to Porsches. One learns to enjoy a well-taken corner, knowing that conservation of momentum, especially through corners, is the key to driving an old underpowered Brit sports car car quickly. The same enjoyment is available in a 911, just at a slightly higher velocity.
Ok, so sometimes I'm not driving that quickly, but I'm not slowing for corners much, either.
This means sometimes I come up behind people quickly. As a result, they may think me a jerk. But I don't mean to be. Honest!
