Very seldom is "flooring it" needed in a 350. Outside of the Deisel like sound, the motor is extremely smooth and a light feather gives you plenty of power. There's nothing worse than people I see "floor it", blow piles of smoke out the back end and litterally go nowhere fast. Smooth pull away power can be achieved without the "pedal to the metal" motion. I use the power of the 350 when needed, but flooring it is usually uneccessary.

^^ This. I don't exactly floor it, but the AWD and winter tires do make driving much more fun than it used to be around this time of year.

Is anyone else always off the line the fastest and at least 5-10 car lengths ahead of the cars after a stop at red light? cuz that's always me

Almost never, I only floor it on special occasion, which is when someone finds it necessary to question the 350's speed. I like keeping it down because it surprises me more when I do it

Around 3-4 times a week, after the car warms up. And if there's "racing music" on, I'd probably floor it a few times during that trip.
