Went up to the Dragon again this weekend (can't stay away). Here's the first video I've taken from there in the past year.

is it OK to keep hitting the limiter like that?

 

Dude 40 seconds in and your putting your sunglasses on around a turn with barely a hand on the steering wheel, haha probably not smart.

 

awesome driving! loved the rev matching but too lazy to shift up sometimes i guess? lol

the evo def. seemed pressured

 

at some point, i saw u bounce off the rev for over 5 sec i turn off the video...

edit: also i might be wrong, but i think your engine check light is on during your cruise.

 

Did you forget that the car is not automatic?

 

Shift!!! lol

 

Shouldn't hurt it, that's what the limiter is there for. I've run a few autocross courses in 1st gear before bouncing it off the limiter like crazy and nothing has happened so far. I've put 55k miles on in the past two years and never had a problem. (knock on wood)

It's not like you need a death grip on the wheel. Personally, the more relaxed I am, the fast I go and the fewer mistakes I make.

Thanks! Yeah, I'd lose momentum upshifting to just have to downshit again 2 seconds after I upshift. I can rev match pretty well, but sometimes you just have to pick your battles

The EVO was pushing something like 436 to the wheels and was on motons. He was a cool guy though. That's his gopro on my hood. I'm waiting for him to send me the iink. I'd seen him running around all weekend and finally met him like 5 minutes before this video was taken.

Yeah, that happened. Same things happened in 3rd gear before in certain fast sections. Yeah, the check engine light is on, it's been on since I put in my test pipe. It'll go off intermittently. I can tell when the car is running well and when it isn't. It ran just fine this whole weekend.

For a little while I thought I was in my Ferrari, I kept looking for the paddle shifters, but they weren't there

 

upshift just to downshift again in 3 seconds? The momentum lost while doing all of that would make me slower than just leaving it in 2nd.

 

rev limiter works.

Do you know the guy in the evo?

That's pretty close to follow behind someone on the dragon imo
