Nobody said anything about hitting Vtec when backing out of the Driveway in the morning.

mister2 --

 

good reply. i went to grad school in VA, and remember how aweful the east coast coppers are! especially the NJ highway patrol (but then again, i grew up in OH, where they developed a$$hole highway patrol ... can you say 70mph ticket on 65mph highway with noone around for miles in a taurus!?).

come visit me in san diego, and i'll take you out for a canyon drive!

You too!! Up until now, I wasn't aware that you could shift below redline after the car is warmed up.

 

 

Between 4-6K depending on conditions. Normally there is not much of a need to use the 6-9K unless I'm trying to pass a semi and a couple of cars before taking an offramp or something.

 

around 6 depending on traffic, i redline when i need to

 

6299.99rpm or before VTEC engage
I once did 9000 next to a School bus fill with high schooler and seeing many , , , and out the window...

I never shift above 2500 RPM. Too much wear on the engine and other component. 9,000? Yikes..nothing can possibly last long if you drive it that way.


Please lower then 2500 rpm do you know how much work that puts on things!!!!!!!!!! You'd be bogin out
