first 2 posts were funny but on a serious note. From the sounds of this thread, OP the type of driving you sound like you want to do should be left on the track.

I almost thought this was a joke thread till I got halfway down the page haha.

Our engines are designed to be revved, so there isn't going to be any harm in holding gears during more spirited driving. For day to day though, there really isn't any point, since the higher revs will wear your engine down quicker than short shifting.

I only speed when I'm not around where I live lol. I see the cops staring me down, they know.... they know...

Most I've revved to so far is 5.5-6 I think. I may have red lined once or twice. I want to redline it but the engine gets so loud at higher RPM's, makes you think the thing is gonna blow lol.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. That engine sounded so so loud I felt like it was literally going to blow up. That's why I started this thread

Try taking it out of first gear & shift it into 2nd.

A can of bees get's released when you hit 7500 rpm's...have a go at it, but keep it safe.
