So what song makes you drive a little faster than usual when it comes on? I heard Eminence Front by The Who earlier, man it was all I could do to hold the vette back Also ZZ Top's "I need you tonight" has the same effect.

"Red Barchetta" by Rush, "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar and "Heading Out To The Highway" by Judas Priest are a few of my favorites.

I'm an 80's rocker so I'll say Cinderella's " Somebody Save Me" and "Shake Me".

Panama by Van Halen, Cowboys from hell by Pantra and Ride the lightning by Metalica are a few that stick out in my mind.

One I like to listen to on the highway that puts me in "the zone" is "Mona Lisa Overdrive II", the song from the chase scene in The Matrix Reloaded

Van Halen, Runnin With The Devil. When I was on my last tour in Iraq I used to run convoys through Baghdad with some civilian contractors. One had a "convoy CD' and that was the first song. Route Irish ran from the Green Zone to the Baghdad International Airport (BIAP). Goal was to get from one end of Route Irish to the other before the song ended. We'd run uparmored Suburbans and Tahoes, and would usually hit 100 mph or better. When I rotated home the contractor gave me a copy of the CD. First day back to work at Lejeune I popped the CD in and when I checked my speed I was doing almost 90 in a 55 zone aboard Camp Lejeune! Probably good I caught myself before the MPs caught me!

Default fast song

Well my wife recently recieved a ticket after the song Mob Rules from the late Ronnie James Dio was playing very loud on the CD player ,and I have read that the stock Bose system isnt very good but it was good enough that she put the hammer down and I paid the bill!

I was in a rock band for 12 years thru the late 80's and 90's and I love all the great music from the 70's also so there are many songs that are great to drive fast too but not too fast, I was also lucky enough to get to work for the band Kiss on their Alive World Wide tour as a stage hand it was a very cool experience didnt get paid alot but it was fun watching them play every other night or so.

"Party" - Boston, "Frankenstein" - Edgar Winters, "Barracuda" - Heart, "Bohemian like you" - The Dandy Warhols, and the one that really dates me "East bound and down" - Jerry Reed (and that one got me more than one ticket when I drove a trans am)
