Impressive.

 

Or just get my 6mt RWD haha

 

I'm Glad that it impresses you because it just pisses me off.

But i guess driving agressive has a price tag, not to mention tickets. But i dont have a problem with those.

 

make sure your engine is warmed up and the temp is reading in the middle.
Change the oil/filter regularly and nothing should happen, however longterm high-revs on an engine is the number one cause of wear and prevention of engine longevity. Just don't do it all the time and you should get both fun and longevity.


*obviously the above has more weight should you tend to keep a car 5-10 yrs or longer.

 

i floor it at least 3 times a week

 

If you never explore the limits of your car, how will you know what it will do in an emergency? I'm not advocating driving to the limit every time on public roads, but seriously:

1) Explore the limits of your brakes. Know what they will feel like, so if there IS an emergency you will not get a sudden surprise.

2) Push it in a wide, smooth corner with no traffic until you hear tire squeal. Now you know how far you can push it to avoid accidents.

3) Play in empty parking lots, dry, rain, and snow. Learn the car. Avoiding accidents by using your car's capabilities beats air bags every time.

4) If the opportunity presents itself, go to a high-performance or sports car club driving school. You will learn a surprising amount about how far you can trust your OWN ability as well.

 

^+1 ... True story Dan...safest accident is the one that never happens...

 

A superior driver is one that uses his superior judgment to avoid situations requiring the use of his superior skill.

I floor it once in a while - not really necessary with TT. Usually quarter throttle will deter any challengers. It's OK to floor it as long as you don't take it to red line that often.

 

The simple answer is YES, it causes long term damage.

Your car will also be damaged sitting on blocks in your garage. Every component will attempt to return to a lower energy state through oxidation (etc.) as time passes. Driving your car can only hasten this process through wear and generation of heat. Driving your car fast, degrades its components faster.

In creating your car, Nissan brought order to the metal and plastic elements which had previously lain static. They thereby increased the level of entropy in the universe and have hastened its inevitable demise. By purchasing your car you contributed to the end of everything - I hope you're happy.

 

+2

many an accident have i avoided while driving timidly from the experience i have picked up while driving agressivly.

 

Flooring my car just makes me smile more.

 

Carpeting is sufficient… terracotta, bamboo and hardwood are a little expressive but would really stand out!

 

^ omg all most pissed myself

 

^ what else is new

 

True that the hard flooring will increase the resale value but the added weight will kill your gas mileage and acceleration.
