If I do a track day and don't red-line I'm not beating it? Good then I rarely beat it. These cars were made to be run hard they sure as hell aren't the prettiest thing on the road and as for luxury and ride quality forget it.

Given that I only drive it once or twice a week, I drive it pretty nice I never launch it, usually get into the higher RPMs once im in 3rd or 4th.

I rallyx several times per year, daily drive it (near 100k now) and run dirt roads in the adirondack park for fun weekly. Nothing like a hairpin left bouncing off the rev limiter in second gear.....

I don't really see the need of redlining the Evo everytime I drive. My particular car make the most torque at 4K rpm so I usually shift shortly after that. But I do beat on it very often.

I daily drive the car and take it to redline at least a few times during each trip. It's no fun just driving it slow.

Out of a full month of driving, probably twice....only for short spurts. Streets seem tobe dead around here. It's either full blown race cars or pea shooting honda's.

Sometimes.But usually I drive on the street in traffic so I don't have much of a chance to open the car up.
