I haven't since Christmas, just because I haven't driven it since then. However, when I'm home, I wil do it a few times a week just to feel it :p

I don't know how often i "redline" my car but i get up there atleast once a day. Just depends on what's in front of me. I don't drive like an ***.

I don't really care, some people get scared and think it's bad for their cars. I've owned enough hondas to know that it's not going to do anything.

When i drive my dads s2000 (very rare), i redline every chance i can get lol

It's very infrequent. I'd say i've driven it less than 10 times since he bought it. It's a 2000. That doesn't include the two weeks i had to drive it when my car was in the shop. Good times :D

not often enough because the tranny repairs are too expensive.

weeeee I hope so

I remember in 2002-3 I had gotten really pissed off trying to make it up a big hill with lots of snow

I ended up jamming it in first through 4th all the way to red line only because I was mad every gear was redlining my tach read 115 mph

the rev limiter was bouncing all over the place

been through 1 manual tranny before any mods was'nt because of the hill incedent though


other than that I redline here and there though I try to shift right after my powerband starts to die out :thumbsup:
