How often do you get a chance to WOT?

Before I got my E55, I had an E320 that I used to WOT very frequently. Pretty much every time I drove the car. But with the E55, I don't get this chance. I had to drive around for like 20 min the other day to find a deserted street where I could WOT from 1st gear. The car is just too much of a beast!

Every access ramp. Every stoplight.

0-speed limit is almost always at WOT

+1 to highway onramps. I get on a nasty one every morning and try to ensure I'm the only one on it. It's a good 1/8 mile that's all mine.

Haha, I live in Houston (lots of traffic) so I don't get to ever WOT. However, I take a special road home every day that give me about a mile of wide open stretch to let it rip.

+1 for every day!
Most common for me is the 65-110mph squirt on the highway.

My favorite the 0-80mph when its cold outside and the tires are warm. The car comes alive and makes me laugh out loud to myself!!

:everytime i see a minivan! I make it a point to cut every minivan off as its my theory that they have pulled out in from of me or someone else before and they are just getting theirs back

Like to have fun with mine and use it how it was designed for, but I don't rice it around in traffic. Drives me nuts when ricers constantly jam the throttle when there is no place to go in traffic.

With my long tubers, and 3 inch without res, OH you know I got something going under that hood even cruising at 30mph. No need to rice it.

Always looking for open road though to let it rip! Several times been decelerating and had popo coming around the corner.

Hopefully my luck holds out. So far so good.

Everyday, everycar (depending on whats driven)- some are stronger from a dig obviously and a roll.

Not a day goes by where I dont hit 130-140 mph (mexico rules).

Hitting 100mph everyday honestly is easy and I don't see how anyone could not do it. When I drive to work there is a road I turn on to and rip up to around 100 every single day before hitting the brakes and slowing to the 55mph speed limit. I also lived on an island for most of my life and still had the ability to hit some high speeds back then, and with a car that accelerates so fast you don't need a ton of space because it can happen so fast.

I always love the people that will look at you like you are absolutely crazy if you said you have done 100mph or especially anything higher, they just don't understand how easy and quickly it can be done. This is more directed at when I used to ride a motorcycle and you can blink and be doing 130mph from the sheer acceleration of a liter bike, but fast cars are not far behind making it just as easy.

Theres one on ramp where I live that I can hit 130 before I merge onto the highway. I love that ramp. you can also see the tread marks were two cars will stop and run each other to the highway.
