I dont know about you guys, but i'm the kind of person who drives shifring at 2000 rpm, and thinks anything over 3000 is abusing your motor. I can count the number of times I've redlined first with my 2 hands. Yea I drive granpa style :lol:
But sometimes you just gotta let her go to the red, you know make sure it still works. This morning on my way to finals, I was all juiced about it. Traffic slows down to about 40 and I decide I need to stretch the cars legs out. After I get an opening I drive at 40 for a few second to build up some distance. Then double clutch from 5th into 2nd, and this thing is off. 7k in 2nd, shift to 3rd and redline it, bam into fourth, and let off at about 6000rpm since i'm getting close to the cars in front. The advanced timing and groundwires seem to have made a pretty good difference in the acceleration, plus it got some of that finals tension out of me.
