Is it bad for a 1500 mile car to be revved to 9K often?

I love holding it in 1st, 2nd gear in the VTEC zone buzzing thru campus. And I also love just wringing it out wherever I go. I'm wondering if this isn't good for a pretty new car.

I almost feel guilty after a night of just pure revving fun. It's like I feel I need to give the car a rest.

You have to wear a bib tho... Oh, a condom or tube sock is also needed. Don't want to ruin the leather right

Make sure to keep your eyes on the road.

I do it all the time, and the car still hasn't gone blind .

But watch out for the campus cops, they love to hand out speeding tickets (I got one on a bicycle once).

SpaceNeedle,

You should be fine man...I took the S2000 to the autocross when it had 800 miles on it.
