I'm sure your car is fine ... I just found it humorous that you learned how to drive a stick in such a performance machine ... that's all. Don't worry ... this is my third stick shift ... and I've still redlined it to the rev limiter at least handful of times by accident. But you know what ... this is why the car kicks us out of redline ... to protect the engine and rookie stick drivers like yourself ... enjoy!

You need to invent a gyroscopic pizza holder...you'll make millions (not just in tips)

I have taken my car to 130 once with my best friend and once with my sister once on a deserted road and once on the 101 on a sunday at 8 in the morning ... I now realize why they call this car a supercar in a sedans clothes.. and it is a very addicting car to drive

Be carefull what you post.....
is watching. Any indication that you are running (they will call it abuse) your car hard and they will attempt to void the warranty.
Their attitude towards driving a performance car like a performance car should be driven (enthusiastically, not beating on it)
<-----Sucks.

And yes, I redlined that bad boy in every gear.
The salesman was saying, "OK, now the road is going to open up, really lay into it, see what it can do!" With a saleman saying things like that to you, I'm sure you would have said, "No, No, I need to make sure whoever buys this doesn't get a lemon!" YEAH RIGHT! And if that is the case, maybe you're the one who should be wearing the skirt and silk panties! Just my opinion....

actually that is the difference... i have too much respect for my baby... that i would not dawg out the car until it is properly broken in.... and honestly what you are saying sounds like bs.... i drove a 323 ci.. LOL... i can dust u while shifting at 4 k lol.... on top of that... u have no clue how the evo breaks in... u claim u were WOT to redline on every gear.... your a retard... on 2nd gear yourg oing about 60 mph... if you try taking an evo past 70 WOT when NOT past at least 500-600 miles... the CAR will NOT WANT to go that fast and u will feel the engine cluttering.... so for your answer... IF... the dealership wouldve let me test drive... NO... i would NOT have WOT... NO... i would not have shifted past the recommended 5k... u do not need to b WOT to kno how powerful a car is....u should be able to tell with half throttle... so... IF... which i doubt.. u did drive the evo... u ruined a 30,000 car... that will very very soon need a new engine... probably new clutch... new tranny... goob job dumb ***! no respect for the evo.. therefore you will probably never be driving one... its not about if its just YOUR car... its about the CAR itself.... everyone else agree??? and if u drive a 323ci POS =X Y are u on OUR forum! OFF w/his head!
