When I was 18 I had a Honda CRX stock. Today's version of the ricer. Due to the sound of the engine, feel of the car, I thought I had the fastest thing on the road. But at times I realized I didn't.Worse was going between two towns 100 miles apart at like 2am. Had it pegged out screaming at 130mph and headlights gained on me like I was sitting still. A MR2 pulls up next to me, jumps it a few times and just continues on like I am some old grandma doing 45mph.Same reason you bought your M3, when you drive it, it feels fast to you. But give me a GS430 and I'll make you stare at my rear end non stop. Give me a 76' Vette big block, and I'll be out of sight before you hit 3rd gear.Speed and sense is all relevant to the person, age and how their senses pick up such items. Its why you see some sitting in a Ford Taurus wagon doing 35mph but are gripping the wheel like they are going to die. Their senses are telling them they are going fast.
