I am guilty of speeding during about 90% of my driving. Always have and it has not changed with this car. I find the power more than enough to continue my normal driving habits. Sure I am not doing a blistering take off but can be at or above the speed limit in just a few seconds (usually just to slow down again).
As Cole said (I live nearby) the back roads around here do not lend themselves to being a good way to get about unless you have to so I stick to the highways. My normal routine is to take the on ramp at about twice the posted speed and hit the highway already going as fast or faster than the traffic. Once on the highway I usually stick to about 20 KPH (12 MPH) above the limit and try not to go any faster or slower. The local police will generally ignore somebody doing 20 over as long as they are not weaving in and out or in any other way driving like a fool so I am comfortable with that. It is important to note that even at 20 over the limit I frequently get passed like I am standing still. These vehicles are almost always a minivan, pickup truck or some other sort of marked work vehicle.
