:...the only "ricing" i do i step on the gas a little harder in 2nd to hear the intake around 2.5k RPM, especially in tunnels and near walls at night...
+1 lol. except i have to wait until 3.5k rpm for it to really kick in.
I never redline, and if anyone thinks our cars are made for that they are dead wrong. I've never gone above 6k, but of course that's hard to do with an auto. I regret to admit that I've hit maybe 5800 or so a few times since I've owned the car - but I stopped doing that permanently b/c it just sounds so strained, and it's not worth possibly hurting internals.

I get enough thrills from 3.5 - 4.5k. I never accelerate hard from stop, and I always let the tranny shift into 2nd before I get on it. I do this maybe 3 times a week. Sometimes I get just as much satisfaction just cruising along, especially when I just detailed.
