Don't you have any freeway entrance ramps? As Ezra Dyer once said, it's a state-sanctioned zero-to-60 run. I found his exact words:


First, the transmission’s bottom three gears – the ones you’d use in anger on a public road – are spaced in roughly 20-mph increments. You’re shifting just short of 50 mph, then 70 mph, then 90 mph. Given the rate at which a 458 accrues speed, that means you’re basically upshifting as fast as you can grab the paddle.
Second, the 458 makes its horsepower peak at its redline. So if you want to access all 562 hp, you have to hang in there until 9000 rpm. In fact, if you let the tach drop below 7000 rpm, it will start raining because you made Enzo Ferrari cry from heaven. Did it rain while I was in L.A.? No, it did not.

Yup, I have free way entrance ramps to use. But I do 0-80 automatically if no impeding traffic for that is the merging speed here. Then my restrictor kicks in. no traffic convictions for 20 years. gary, the Xfire does it almost like a bike.

 

I have a quite long on-ramp(500-600yards?) that I use daily and have hit 130 before slowing down to enter the freeway.... I can only do this when there is no traffic, which isn't very often....

 

Move across the pond. Do not mess with the US cops. I always drive like an old lady in fl.

 

This dude isn't smoking anything. How much power do you need to for red light races?

 

Any idea of the other side effects of too much magnesium??

 

you could spontaneously ignite?????

 

That is all kinds of AWESOME.

My problem with the state-sanctioned 0-60 on-ramps is that I'm often going 120 before I merge, and I have to lean heavily on my brakes so I can merge.


Oh yeah, for the original poster:
Get a cold air intake, a pulley and an ECU tune. You'll giggle like a school girl (or Nick) every time you hit the accelerator. As for being in the UK, no problem. NeedsWings will ship his intake to you, so the only downside there is you have to install it yourself and pay VAT on it. Same with the pulley - from NeedsWings or Eurocharged. And for the ECU tune you buy a cable from Eurocharged, plug it into your car and a laptop and they will tune your car over the Internet.
