Smooth for me also. I like to get on the interstate, get up to about 60mph and then just keep gradually pushing the pedal and feel the V-8 push me back in the seat. I too try and limit brake use as much as possible because of the brake dust...I clean the front wheels every time I have the car out. Speaking of brakes, the other day I'm soing about 70 mph when the women in the van in front of me decides to hit the brakes because she saw a cop passing out a ticket on the side of the road. I thought she would pick up again but n, she decides to virtually stop. With instant reaction I hit the brake pedal and seemed like I stopped on a dime...I know my Old's Intrigue company car would never have stopped like this and I would be buried in the rear of this lady's van I guess getting a little brake dust is small annoyance to put up with.
