I floor it just about every chance I get. I love feeling the pull of 306 horses. Whether it is zooming around the one person who liked to drive 35mph on a 50mph zone or lighting up the person next to me at a redlight. Only if the person next to me is driving a sports car though. I like to make the BMW guys feel bad when I smoke em off the line =P

 

^^ If I were you I'd ignore the BMW drivers...they talk so much sh*t about g35 drivers always trying to race them....can't stand those guys

 

ive been beating the **** out of her latly

 

I can't bring myself to floor it often. I just feel so bad afterwards so I only do it when I've been stuck behind someone going 15 under for an hour and they finally pull off.

 

i hear the rev limiter often. i mean its there for a reason lol

 

My car (since I had it on late '10) has been floored 2-3 times. I say it sees 5k rpm every other drive. I'm more well rounded in the hard driving. Braking and corners are fun, too

That said, it is very highly maintained. I added a trans cooler and inline filter since the car sees alot of city miles. It is 94F here today and spent about twenty minutes in traffic and all day in <40 mph stoplight type stuff. That will raise tranny temps in a hurry. All front bushings replaced, new shocks, ALL fluids (yes brakes, too). I've replaced things most people don't dream to do like the little rubber things on the caliper slide pins and using new OEM nuts/bolts just cause I took the old ones off for the struts and shocks.

But that said... I have only driven my car 600ish miles since March '12. I haven't filled it up in about two weeks and still over half a tank.

 

My '04 has over 150,000 miles and about the same amount of track days, the last few years running TT, until gas hit $4 I would red line it at least daily. Except for a blown power steering line I've had zero mechanical issues. Got on it in front of a friend the other day and asked him if there was any smoke from the exhaust and he said no but it does burn a quart a bit faster these days. Not sure if we both got lucky or if it's true that these engines like to be broken in hard, I drove mine pretty hard from day one. Oh yeah, and my red line has been set to 7500 for the last few years, I've bounced it off that a few times, heh.
