But then I thought, "Where could I really let that fucker out?" I drove a 740i for a summer in the mid 90s and thought it was overpowered in that big body. The 540 has the same engine and 500 less lbs. What do you do with that? Unless you live in the desert, what do you do with a 911 in suburbia? I see these cats with 911s everywhere and think they must either be pussies who buy it purely for status, or very frustrated people, since they can never use their cars as they were intended to be used.

You really have no imagination.
I used to do 100 on the Dumbarton every day when I worked in Palo Alto. No cops, no lights - wide open road. And that was in a 325i.
Getting on the freeway is a lot more fun in a Porsche. You just have to find the right roads. There are lots of places they call "east of the mountains" (between Canada and Mexico) where you can let the fucker out of it's cage. Bu tmostly it's getting on the freeway for your daily fun. If you can't hit 100 by the end of an on-ramp, you're just not trying.
