Default At what speeds do you "LET IT LOOSE"?

I was wondering, what speed do you feel the most torque at from 20-60? from what to what is your favorite speeds that you feel throw back in the seat the most? Dont get me wrong i dont abuse my car at all. i just love to get on the open road and free it up a little sometimes!

35 then WOT, it's the sweet spot I have.

The main route south out of town is a 35mph road. After the last stoplight it becomes a long freeway onramp. Keep thinking green, pass the light and *Whoosh*.

Before I went with the CSC, I LOVED flooring it at 30mph. Now that only results in silly tire spin, so I really don't FEEL a pull until I start at 55mph. That's where I don't have to worry about any wheel spin at all and I can just fly.

40MPH if I floor it the car will downshift in the heart of my power band and seriously rip. Throws you back in the seat all the way to 7k.

Punching it anywhere under 30 means I can spin until 2nd, which is the most fun.
