when you vtec

dnbsi · 12-31-2007, 12:05 AM

do you always take it all the way to redline? if not it seems like whats the point in taking the revs that high?

***Aldaris*** · 12-31-2007, 12:10 AM

You don't HAVE to redline your car everytime you V-tec .
But since our car's HP potential is achieved at 7800 rpms red lining is a good thing.

maybe you are merging on to the freeway and need more power but dont have to redline it. iono it is fun to vtec but not always fun to redline it. (dont want to beat on the engine)

Litlelev · 12-31-2007, 12:19 AM

i usually at least come close to redline in one gear or so

***0720Steve*** · 12-31-2007, 12:55 AM

I will go near the limiter (8600 rpm) sometimes, but not most of the time. The point is to drive the car as the situation demands, and situations differ.

osohormiguerro · 12-31-2007, 02:38 PM

redline for the win. go big or go home.

samx109 · 12-31-2007, 02:41 PM

If I pound it I would take it to redline. And it keeps your car in the powerband.
