Do you find yourself driving faster as you get more mods?

I installed the Stillen RSB on Sept. 8, and since then, I've found myself driving more aggressively on the highway. Sometimes it scares me! The feelings of stability and confidence that the RSB gives me at highway speeds seems to be the reason why I find myself pushing the envelope. Most of the other cars on the road seem like they're standing still. I can't stand Boston traffic either. I need open highway!

NO!

I've had my Max for 3 years first year and a half accumulated 2 speeding tickets before any mods added...after mods(I/E) were added only violation was an illegal lane change at under 15mph!

The more I modify my car, the slower I drive. A slammed car on 19"s with a body kit hanging 3" off the ground is not something you drive fast. Oh well, at least I look good cruising.

Sure. You have to testdrive the mods to make sure they work right.

Ever since I installed that Pop Charger

I find myself wanting to hear the roar of the engine. I tried to tell myself it would help on gas and all, but that went out the window quick. The wife still has no clue that I got it. I drive 23 miles to work 5 days a week and have all kinds of roads to play with. I am going to get in the most trouble on the highway though, my car loves to cruise at 90mph. Is that my fault? I think NOT!

I found myself driving slower than before, cuz all my mods do is just add extra weight

Yep, to an extent....

When you have mods, takeoffs are a lot more fun but then you level off and go the real speed limit (10mph to 15mph over posted)!!!

I drove the car faster when I first got it, if I ever drive fast now it is on a road with NO traffic and I know there are no cops.. you want ever see me doing 80 in a 55 or 50 in a 35, I get pulled over a good amount anyway. Once I get rims and a kit, I'll follow the cruising rule with shadow..

No joke, I love hearing the sound of my CAI. It sounds so cool, I love just rowing through the gears all the way to 100.
