I was always curious about this, i mean you are making the tranny shift gears fast as hell if you floor it compared to when you don't floor it.
I know flooring it wastes crazy gas.. but other than that, if i floor it all the time, what engine part will suffer?

Basically you put the engine at higher speed (rpms), so you create more heat (never good), move metal parts that are extremely close together much faster, and create much more pressure (also never good). Also, a WOT shift is much faster than a regular so the tranny suffers the adverse effects as well. as much from the heat as because you are demanding the full 222 horsepower from the car. Now, how bad is it? depends on how well you take care of the car...
Occasional flooring it won't hurt anything, i do usually at least once a day...

I'll make a deal with you: I'll stop nagging about street racing and poor spelling for one week if you'll stop your perpetual anti-automatic remarks for a week. Agreed?
