I'd be redlining from stop light to stop light if it didn't draw too much attention.

Keep your tires properly inflated and with proper tread. Keep your engine properly fed with good oil and good gas. Do the regular maintenance (spark plugs, clean intake filter, oil filter). Other than that, 9K all day. except in rain. rain + s2k + 9K = bad times

I had my rear tires off inflation by about 2-3 PSI, I hit vtec in 2nd gear going straight on a damp day. car = instantly sideways right as it crossed into vtec

To give you an idea of how strong our engines are, I redline my car multiply times a day and make 500 whp. I been driving like this for over a year with no issues.

Hell yeah. Somtimes I try to lie to myself and say i wont hit vtec or take it to redline, but before i know it, I'm hitting the radio mute button, and am lookin around for cops before i mash on it. Addicting and safe to do on a daily basis.
