stompin the go pedal!!!

How often do you guys mash the go pedal? When is it considered "beating" on your car??

I like to give half throttle to full throttle get-up-and-goes a few times a week, its not bad is it??

Provided the engine is warmed up you shouldn't have a problem unless you over rev it. This applies to M6's and auto guys that shift for themselves. Can't understand the latter though as the PCM can be programmed to make the tranny perform how you want.

At any rate, I beat on the 02 like it was a red headed step child and it seems to like it and asks for more. On the other hand I drive the 98 easy as it's my DD.

I'm a "go pedal guy", I smash the throttle on everything I drive whenever I can get away with it

every once in a while... not so much in the winter with the cold roads... breaking tire loose in 3rd gear can be a bit scary...

I beat it like it owes me money!

I also like to step on the gas peddle alot...love the sound of my exhaust.

Whats the point of headers and exhaust (besides more H/P) unless your at WOT?

**Smkn_TA** · 06-20-2008, 09:10 AM

Are you kidding. Whats the point of having a sports car if you're going to drive it like some pussy shit granny car volvo.

Yeah...once it is warmed up, it is on.

I actually don't drive the car all that hard, unless the video camera is present. But I built it to take abuse.

**CamaroFan71** · 06-20-2008, 09:11 AM

I beat on mine like it hasnt had pussy in years.

Wait...... you meant my car?? Only occasionally.

This is one of the reasons I drive the 02 with the pedal nailed to the firewall: LT's (no cats) TD's w X-pipe and Magnaflows. Who needs a stereo. It's music to my ears!

**Spaz** · 06-20-2008, 10:12 AM

OH!!! i do go WOT every day as i go under an over pass...

**blackSS01** · 06-20-2008, 11:49 AM

If I take it out, I usually nail it once for sure. Last time, I had the beast out, I put 95 miles on with only nailing it once in first. Like Spaz said, if I go under a bridge........my car sounds sick.

But with my DD up and running, I only put on about 100 miles every two weeks

My Camaro is my DD, so anything that I do to it I gotta remember that the car needs to last me a longgg time.

Then again, hopefully I'm going to the track wednesday night
