fastfeeet, btw, when we tell you to drive it like you stole it, we're not just being funny.

While it may shorten motor life, taking the motor to near redline each time you drive it AFTER it's fully up to temp is good for lubricating the nooks and crannies of the motor.

I have redlined my motor repeatedly for 10 years now and it purrs like a kitten.

Let's not start the redline/no redline debate again....
