There are numerous things you could mess up driving at high rpms daily. You cant tell me that if you drive daily revving at 5-6k RPM's, that your engine will last longer than if you only revved to 3-4k RPM's while shifting, etc....Just common sense.... There are so many things working together to make an engine run, pushing higher RPMs only betters your chance at screwing something up internally. More rpm's means more stress on engine.

BTW- I don't think that you are pushing the car too hard in the video.  Take a look at my 0-60 video ...... that's much harder, but the engine never had a problem.  The 6th gen tranny lost it's lip seals. < Message edited by falkore24 -- 2/21/2008 12:09:30 PM > _____________________________ 2006 Scion TC (ZPI-18G pending) 2000 V6-AT (RIP 3G) Temp Search thanks to Finch13 (in reply to accrd94ex) Post #: 22

I'd rather buy a car from a grandma and trash it myself so at least I know how it was driven. I've put 40k on my car since it was passed down to me and I drive *somewhat* like that at some point nearly everyday. The engine still runs like the day I got it. It's your car, I'm not saying don't do it, I do it myself, but I do agree with j_man that your chances of something prematurely breaking skyrockets by driving in that manner. Enjoy! I know I do. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008! (in reply to falkore24) Post #: 23

If you want a race car, build a race car. I would never run my daily driver that hard over once a week. Its cool to have fun every now and then but someday somethings gonna break if you drive daily at 5-6k RPMs.... If nothing tears up internally in your car in the following year, id be surprised...

I like to mash the peddle and, obviously, will rev up to 6k in the process, but I don't drive down the freeway cruising at 6k... _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008!
