Has anyone else got this?
I get used to fast cars so easily its actually annoying. The first fastish car I drove was a stripped out rally 205 1.9 GTI, and thought that was rapid for a bit then got used to it and found it rather boring, then the fastest car i've driven is a racing Caterham with 1 seat etc with 180bhp in something that weighs 500kgs (fooking rapid) after about 10mins I got used to that and was going back and forward in my seat as you do to make it faster , I think I need to drive a veyron or something

driving a 1.2 8v for two years and then getting something quicker usually does the trick

Going round corners faster is a better feeling than going in a straight line faster!
