I was reving my engine in the drive way when i was waiting for my bro to get in i was reving to the max of the limiter(4krpm) then he told me that if I keep doing that i'll blow the engine is this true ? Also is pushing the petal all the way to the floor on take off bad for the engine?

[QuEeNiEsTaNg]

Yeah i would say its bad if your basically just bouncing off the rev limiter. Any kind of abuse is abuse I would assume, just like beating the sh*t out of your car, yeah its fun, but over time its gonna get pissed at ya lol

I dont know, I never just rev my car. I love when people are warming their car up that way when its winter, first thing they do with a cold car is get in, start it and rev the shit out of it, thats not good I dont care who says its alright, but it isnt....

[jeff]

Yea i know reving the engine cold is bad friend blow some kind of rod doing that before lol. but my car was warmed up and i was bouncing off the rev limiter the car was shaking too lol sounded good though.

[scubasteve041186]

thats the governer and it;s not that good for it when your not moving its like me holding you down while you try to run? lol the engine won't like it

[jeff]

How about pushing the petal all the way to the floor on take off is that bad not burning out but like when your in 2 gear or so then drop it ?

[scubasteve041186]

yeah it;s still hard on the engine but you know what fun more or less what you just said is dropping the clutch. and lots of people do it.

[scubasteve041186]

just be careful when your reving in neutral you can bend some valves and same with other higher rpms

[AtlanticBlue99]

any high revs or extreme conditions are bad for the motor and corresponding parts. but it is a mustang, so do so sparingly. i used to beat the shit out of my car all the time, but shit kept breaking. now that it runs strong and reliably, i rarely break 2500 rpms on the street.

[Onemanzu]

AB ima have to start doing that... shit im tired of not having my car... i have been working on it for the last week and its still not done yet...

i blew the timing covergasket but jsut reveing it... it would have cost me $700 to fix it ... or $300 doin it in my garage... well im takin the $300 route

[AtlanticBlue99]

yeah, you pay to play, so keep the playing to a minimum (as hard as it may be). i learned this the hard way too. i went to the track every thurs for 3 months straight last year and got 5 runs a night. didnt take long to tear up the intake manifold gaskets and tranny...

[QuEeNiEsTaNg]

I pretty much stopped beating the shit out of my car as soon as I got it back from the incident lol..

Now I want it to last, I mean if some douche bag pulls up next to me and wants to play like that POS eclipse the other day, then its time to play, and he got owned bad... Him and his little fag buddy lookin over and laughing and shit, PUH-LEASE lol..
Probably didnt think a bitch could drive

[jeff]

How about with a GT do they make them stronger to with stand the abuse? Because I'll probably be buying/leasing a new mustang GT in 2 years or so. I find this a disappointment I thought since it's a sportscar that it would be made to put up with this.

[Ninjawafers!]

some cars are built stronger than others but abuse is still abuse... some may be able to take a lil more than others but its still not good for it... if i had a GT id baby it until track time

[QuEeNiEsTaNg]

It can handle it, but anything your going to purposely beat the shit out of, is just number one retarded to beat something past the point of being careful. Why waste the investment. I mean obviously you can have fun with it, but if your going to do it every time you pull away from a red light or stop sign or just sit there and rev the hell out of it, in time your going to have to pay for the wear and tear.
Just do it "responsibly" lol

[Ninjawafers!]

i agree with Queenie on that... be responsible and let your car last a lot longer... dont do stupid things like sit there and rev it or floor it at every red light... thats a big ricer thing to do (it was back home anyway)

[QuEeNiEsTaNg]

Thanks 3.8 that was my other point lol.... I just forgot to mention it. But really, thats all that I see doing it, because they think they need to. If you have a REAL car you dont need to make it obvious or whatever the point is, I dont know actually. I have a semi loud exaust and I really dont feel the need to rev it, or whatever, like I said only time I screw around is if someone really wants to race or is just being stupid. thats it

[Ninjawafers!]

the only time i would rev mine or punch it hard at a red light would be to shut up a stupid ricer lol

[QuEeNiEsTaNg]

yup, thats really the only time i do it.. Im past the rev my engine just because point of my life lol

Not here every body floors it lol. But I don't beat the shit out of my car though . I just like to take off fast it's fun like ripping around turns at 30mph it's not that i'm a ricer I don't care who's watching I just think it's fun. I don't do it every time i'm driving though only when i'm in the mood to do so. I don't or ever will go to the track too no body does around here. So my car is a street car we have several straight roads we race on we get up and over 100mph. This one kid with a cobra got his up too 153mph before slowing down

yup, thats really the only time i do it.. Im past the rev my engine just because point of my life lol
