just do a 2nd to 3rd gear pull going up an on ramp! plenty of room to get it up to redline!

 

Hit 8.5-8.9k often everyday, rarely hitting limiter at 9k. This car loves being revved. regularly shift between 3-5k..

 

VTEC every time, redline almost never

 

last time I hit redline was October

 

Vtec/redline everyday! Smiles per gallon cannot be beat!

 

Every day - every time I get a chance. MPG's are not a consideration...

 

Max hp does on my car (flat torque line from 7.5k+) and Junky is supercharged, so his max torque AND power is at redline.

I drive my car probably 6 days out of the week, probably hit the 9k on 4-5 of those days, theres a particular on ramp coming home from work that I like to go balls to the wall in 3rd gear, sometimes a little bit in 4th as well.

 

the car is so much fun to rev that how can you not want to do it all of the time?!!?

 

C'mon . . . Honda made VTEC for a reason. It's a blast !

No.1, you're not going to hurt the car and No.2, you don't buy an S to save money on your gas bill. Buy a Prius if that's the case.

I will admit however that when I bought my first S I was unfamiliar with Honda's VTEC system and a little afraid to red line it. Ah, but once you experience it there's no turning back ! The Sound, the sound !!!

 

I usually shift right at the redline probably once a day. Sometimes I won't VTEC for a week. I have hit the rev limiter a handful of times. I was Leary at first but I figured Honda put it there as a safety measure so hitting is not causing that much damage.
