Anyone else tired of flooring it when the traffic signal changes to green?

I’m always amused when someone who has no idea what I’m driving thinks they’re going to blow past me at the red light. It’s somehow satisfying to see them far behind in the rear view mirror just moments later ? mind you, I’m only talking about idiots in pick up trucks (not raptors) or other vehicles that AREN’T true performance vehicles. I don’t play games. I just enjoy playing with people who think they’re going to cut me off ?

We have one intersection near our house that 100 yards after you cross it, it merges into 1 lane. There have been a few times that I will get in the lane that merges and the person in the other lane expects to blow past me. I don't even have to floor it or go to 60, just that quick blast of torque to get in front is so much fun.

Mix of city/suburb/highway. If I'm in front, I give it 100% until I hit the speed limit...so not very long, and I frequently overshoot by a bit. The acceleration is too much fun, and I'm STILL beating the tar out of the EPA's estimates.

I was driving a friend around and we were stopped at a 4 lane, one direction stoplight. When the light turned green I didn't floor it but gave the throttle probably a 70% press and my friend says 'I didn't realize how fast we were even going until I looked back and no one had even crossed the intersection yet.'

I am obsessed with the acceleration. My favorite is the forced merge. I love turning on to the highway and peeling out. The acceleration happens so fast I know it shocks others. And that is in Engage!

Anyone notice if it is less snappy as the batter percent goes down? I can’t figure out if it is in my head but it doesn’t seem to pull as hard when the percent gets below 80%

Every time I am at one of those lanes like Patrick describes that merges a few hundred yards past a light and I get smoked every time in my Fusion Enrgi when someone passes on the right, I just sigh and count the months until my Mach-E comes when I can say "Not Today"...

"What do we say to the god of death?"..."Not Today"

I was playing with a CG GT on the freeway last weekend and walked right away from it at 65. Mind you that was the precise moment that the HOV lane reappeared and I used that for my walk-away. Still, a crafty walk-away should count. ?
