seriously once the oil guage moves I just go hard. very hard. 5k 1st gear pulls whenever I can. even up to 6k to be spirited. at the very least 80% throttle. lol...

tuner said my engine is very healthy. techs don't notice any issues during fluid changes.

hell the car just WANTS to rev up. it's not like I'm sitting for more than 5 seconds to hear the music. okay I lied sometimes i'll sit in 2nd for a longer time to vroomvroom pewpew.

Ever since I got boost I am pretty much balls to the wall from when oil comes to temp until a few miles from my destination .... which then turns into my turbo cool down lap.... Unless my girlfriend is in the car. Then I drive like I'm terrified of everything in the slow lane. She scares easy.

I'd love to do this more than I do but being a young guy in this car makes me a target to the cops around here.

True. At least in the town where I live I have a free pass. I helped a police captain of my town fix up his personal car at no charge while at work and I got a PBA card from him and he told me to have the officer call him if I get pulled over

This is a really good thread on this car.

5-O will roll up behind me a lot and out of nowhere. Almost like they are either expecting or just daring me to do something stupid while in it.
