  • How often to you get on your car?

    How often would you say you push your car to the max. I know it's not good to constantly pound that pedal, but what is a healthy dose?

    I probably give my car close to full throttle once a week. I might have smashed it to the floor two or three times when I was angry at something. For the most part I really baby the hell out of it.

        I like to get on it every once in a while. I just like that feeling of being pushed into the seat. Stupid A4 sucks at launching though.

          I drive mine quite aggressively 80% of the time. Maybe that explains why I need to replace my T.O. Bearing, clutch and pinion bearing.

              i had been doing really good for a while.

              its not very fast to begin with, so getting on it just wastes gas.

              but since i got the 3.73s.....................

              never mind the fact that normal highway cruising is putting me at 3k.

              i dunno how long im going to keep these, but its definitely fun.

                I don't do much top speed runs only cause the troopers down here have gotten a little crafty and there's too many different types of vehicles to look out for. Very embarrsing if I got owned by a trooper in a new mustang, I can already see a picture on the web if that happened. I do a lot of quick blips around turns and between lights. Both of those are if there are no other cars around, not going to take someone else out because of my stupidity.

                Mine launches pretty hard, gotta almost power brake at 2000 rpm's, it'll launch though.

                  I kind of baby my car, I mean not afraid to hit it and downshift and pass, but its got an ok amount of power to be able to drive around and not really rag on it.


                  Now the camaro, I was harsher but not too bad. Mustang was rediculous, I beat it like a redheaded stepchild that didn't clean his room.

                    i get on my car all the time. whats the point in having a nice fast car if you can't experience it? haha.

                    as far as 100% throttle... maybe once a week at best.. if that.

                            im usually pretty quick with it if theres nobody around, or trying to get on the high from a stop ill probably get up to 4k mabey a little higher... but i don't actually floor it very often, because i don't rarely have more than a 1/4 tank at a time and don't want to waste gas/ kill my fuel pump.... so mabey once a few times a month.. every couple weeks or so
