What songs make you mash the go pedal?

[Scott Liggett]

A tune comes on the radio. You crank up the volume. Then the needle on the speedo climbs quickly. What song(s) cause that for you?

I got nailed twice by the popo in high school because of this song.

Lately, this one has been getting me in trouble. A Culver City PD heard this over my car at a light and waved to me to turn it down.

Re: What songs make you mash the go pedal?

I gave that up after jets blew at my ear drums. I was young and hated my 1700 dollar rockford fosgate 2ohm pyle drivers and surround sound...
My peace to sound came back with engines. Inline fours are trying to kill me, why press the throttle. A 10:1 v8 with a screaming 600 holley is ok with 2.73s...no speeding tickets there, but did get away with it...
the most phenomonal song to me is a 3 main boxer, carbed, no limits, no computer, 8000 rpms after the barrel roll of a calm torqued low rpm take off...it is a favorite song, and my only speeding ticket. Things balance out over time. I guess I deserved it.

I go through phases, where I just listen to the motor and enjoy that, but lately I've been jamming to 80's hair band rock. Scary I know but last night on the cruise it was VanHalen "Can't Drive 55" then FogHat "Slow Ride"; and I hate to admit this in public but I had to crank up Bon Jovi "Steel Horse"

PS. and I forgot my all time favorite go-fast song. Radar Love by Golden Earring. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeRa3RtBiIU

I rolled a car to "Shook me all night long" in high school.
"Bad Reputation" Joan Jett is the current favorite but anything Ramones usually does it.
