Default How often do you redline?
I used to feel guilty driving my S hard, but after seeing how people drive theirs makes me not guilty anymore! So, like title states, how often do you go up to redline on a nice day

I used to feel guilty about posting things in off-topic, but then I realized everything is off-topic.

If you aren’t banging off the rev limiter, how else would you know you have reached max hp potential

max hp and tq doesn't occur at red line or rev limiter rpm

Max HP does on an AP2 at least.

Definitely not enough. Probably last week or a few hours after the valve adjustment was done. Usually don't redline unless I have to.

I have hit the rev-limiter once. But I hit VTEC all the time. I usually don't going to work but driving anywhere else I'll give it the beans.
