Thumbs up

I cant do much WOT action around my town, due to the fact that things get fairly violent when it happens, cutout roars, the tires scream, things get sideways...you get idea.

Go

I usually do a nice burn out and go WOT to about 60 or so when i get off work to let off some stress and feel a little better. And if anyone ever drives like an azzhole i usually floor it and make em look dumb.

When I had my V6 I didn't go WOT that often. But ever since I've bought my Z....... I usually go WOT once she warmes up for a few minutes! Usually if there is a ricer or stang in front of me, lol, let em know who's boss. Then again, I think the main reason most people like WOT is to hear their cars as well. Nothing beats a V8 F-Bod with a good exhaust (or in my case, pretty much nothing, lol; !Cats and a 3" Cutout) You just have to hear the rumble every once in a while!

My car runs better when I drive it hard.
When I get on it after not flooring it for a few days it runs like poop. So I usually run it through the gears once everytime I have it out. Just to keep it happy.

man, all you guys are tickin me off, haha.

This summer my commute was like 15 miles of bumper to bumper traffic going about 40 mph. No traffic lights to accellerate away from or anything, and the highway onramp is too close to my house, motor's still cold.

Now in state college the speedlimit is 25mph, cops all over who follow me as it is, and slick concrete road surface. Even cruising at 2k rpms you can hear it in every apt echoing through beaver canyon, WOT is obnoxious. Many times i go out of town and loop back in just for that reason though.

But she's parked now for the winter. Yes, winter, it did hail and snow here the other day. 89 vw jetta and video clips will have to get me through the winter

I go WFO every chance I get. I think the car would be insulted if I didn't. Thats why I am keeping my stock exhaust so I can have fun and not attract every cop in a 3mi radius. If you are not that interested in feeling that power, buy a mustang

I rarely go WOT in my car. I generally never go over 3,000 rpms on any given day. Once a week I floor it around for a bit but I am generally pretty easy on it. I can't believe I'm 20 and drive like my dad.

I was wondering the same thing. Then I realized that my owners manual says that periodic bouts of sustained high speed driving is good for the engine. So, I figure everday is periodic enough. Isn't it?

haha...i like these responses...when i first got the car i was WOT everywhere...now its just when bad drivers **** me off...ill go WOT do go around them...or when im taking someone for a ride who hasnt felt the lt1 before...hehe...most of the time im driving less that 1/3 throttle though...im 18 and already have one speeding ticket...so i kinda always tell myself that when i feel my foot getting heavy

heres a question...how often do you guys slide your cars around when its wet?...hehe...i do it all the time, after driving my third gen with bald tires and a locked rear end, i kinda had to then when it rained...now its just habit

Heh nah, not every time, even though I'm 20. For one I can't afford: tickets, breaking parts, gas; right now. Secondly I don't want to wear and beat the **** out of my car more than necessary. So yeah, I give it a good romping here and there but not EVERY time i drive....

I figure it was a tech question so I could figure out if I should slow down before I become a lone boner on the side of the road. But It looks like the lt1 like abuse.
