FOCK all that, if i shift it at 3,000 then the car will roll backwards. i'm constanly shifting in and out of every gear at 5000-6000 RPMS. i always downshifting and always maxing it out. someday that engine will blow and then i'll be forced to blow the 10G's (without feeling bad) on the k20a2 swap or mabybe even an h22. who knows.[hr]

I've always heard that redlining and revving the engine hard is bad for a car do i dont' beat on mine too much. I usually shift around 3500-4000 rpms, but maybe once a day i'll rev it all the way up and pretend to feel the vtec kicking in

I didn't buy vtec so I could shift before it kicks in. I don't really care if reving the **** out of it hurts the engine. I really don't plan on keeping the car that long to find out. All I care about is having fun and going fast.

Granda cars are in better condition mostly due to low mileage. Of course, that only refers to the cars that don't get into fender benders because the old bags can see more than 10 feet in front of them and have the reaction times of sloths.
