oh man... those downhill accelerations are superb.... you get that little extra as you are rocketing down... weeeeeeee... the car feeling ever so light, and without the benefit of a rear wing, on the unstable side... just a little more, just a mile faster were the thoughts and you would continue with the exhilaration mode one more second... every time... one time... with a friend in Canada, we were cross country skiing, the terrain was on the "hilly" side... all of a sudden, the need for speed struck us, we went looking for the steepest hills; we found one with a small creek at the bottom of it, so down we went... we would rush down attempting to "jump the creek" as we were rocketing down with our skinny cross country skies, of course we never made it across, in fact we were plain lucky we did not break our ankles... so we laid there on the snow laughing our heads off, after our failed attempts at the impossible, completely oblivious to the possibility that we could have broken our ankles, making the trip back to safety a real pain in the arse... we tried 3 or 4 times and not once we succeeded, so after a while we headed back to safety... tired but having had a lot of fun. Most definitively I relate to that feeling of speed aided by the downhill effect.... -gg
