not very often.. 3 speeding tickets is enough. I'd say once every 2 - 3 days

BluesClues
09-22-2009, 02:59 PM
Not much at all because I am all stock and my shit still doesn't go anywhere when I floor it lol

not to often 13 mpg is enough to keep my foot under control.

lol, ill do it if im bored after cruising for a long time at the speed limit, if theres not many cars around and if there are no :police: in the area. :D

And even then, in my car its enough power for me to only open it to maybe 70 - 80% throttle to satisfy the feeling.

When I'm at the dragstrip. So like 3-4 times a year and ~10 runs at a time.

I do it on on-ramps from time to time if no one is in front of me. Generally I don't need to go to the floor to get the acceleration that satisfies me though.

I do almost every day :(


I hate it, its a really bad habit.

I like to work my snail out daily, to keep it in shape :)


Usually in short bursts through the gears though, not straight up "haul ass mode".lol I try to save that for the track.

Hardly ever go over 3500 RPM either.

Damn...in that Camaro, I bet you could probably watch the fuel gauge needle go down if you strayed past 3500 RPM.

Not very much since I've been driving the tahoe. In my 240, usually just on on ramps, since every on-ramp in Athens is going uphill, and my nissan is slow. Torquey, but slow.

I drive my car like I stole it almost everyday...but I almost never go over the speed limit.

274K miles and still romp on it like it's new...it's a car, drive it. When it breaks, fix it.

My brother is very conservative with his car...sometimes, it rubs off on me.

superboost
09-23-2009, 08:40 PM
the N/A daily driver, I floor it all the time. Its bone stock and slow so you almost have to to get the car to move.

The turbo car, rarely gets floored on the street. Maybe an on-ramp or far in the country, because flooring that too long can result in tickets.

I NEVER WOT in my car. NEVER.

I can't remember the last time I did, honestly :thinking:

I don't take my car over 2500rpm when I do drive it :crazy: Except when I'm on the HWY

Forget traffic and I'm not even sure VTEC still works in my car

And you drift your FWD accord, daily?

as long as you use quality gas, oil, and spark plugs, you shouldn't have to worry much about carbon build up.

I literally had mine a week before the mid- pipe feel off when I hit a speed bump (LOUD) and then my shift linkage stretched and it was a PITA.

WOT not very often, but i'd say i do at least 75-80% WOT every day when i get on the hwy with a good stretch of open road. my car is boosted though so even half throttle accelerates me pretty quickly on the hwy...

Turbodude06
09-29-2009, 03:58 PM
ON-RAMPS, Every time... Idk what is with them just makes u want to get the Fuk on it.... I figure its the safest place no oncoming cars, no one to pull out and the cars ur coming up on are already doing at least 65-80.....

On my bike on the other hand... lol

10-18-2009, 11:08 PM
W.O.T. whenever i get a chance,it's not turbo yet. it probably still won't be fast. the last time i got pulled over for speeding the cop gave me a warning,wanted my business card and a tat.

Sure if 100ft/lbs of torque is a lot.

In my 81 all the time , I have no choice the secondary jet on the car dont open so to get anywhere on the primary it has to be floored on the primary jet.

daily. and with 82hp, i have to put that bitch to the floor to even get a small bit of rush. half throttle will still get me passed by soccer mom in the camry.

i think if i had more power i wouldnt have to do it as much, lol. 18.9@71mph ftw!

Usually I wait till 3rd gear on the street since wot in first and second and depending on conditions third are pretty useless. I usually reserve my wot to the dragstrip. It is nice to put your foot down at the Christmas Tree and not hear the BOV till you cross the beams at the other end.
