    How many times you Red line your car, and is there any harm of Red lining it,i like to hear it mostly going from 3rd to 4th at 8000rpm,just interr.if you drive it to the limit sometimes.On the track i am always at 6-7000rpm with no problems,just like to hear your comments on this.

    I've done it twice not knowing it and you know the car loved it but its strange because no other car I've owned I've never done that

    I usually run mine up to 7500 at least once every time I drive it. After it's fully warmed up, of course.

    usually rev it all the way up several times each occasion i drive it. Gotta be fully warmed up first, tho :)

    6000+ for a few minutes will start frying your brain...

    these motors are pretty stout, so not to worry if the machinery is in good shape.

    How are those belts? Adhering to the 3 years or 30,000 miles rule? :)

    I adhere to the 5 year rule :) 'cause it'll take another 10 years of driving before my car has 30,000 miles on it.
