I haven't done WOT since

.......hmmmmm last saturday racing my brother-in-law in his Accord EXV6 Coupe home. We were on the highwayaround 12a.m. and we were punching it like crazy! we were neck-to-neck most of the time.

I usually do it once a week though. I hear that its good for the engine to be revved to its redline once in a while to burn off and get rid of some of the carbon deposits.

At least once a day. The sound of the VQ30 at WOT rocks.

Couple times a day (when I drive)...I love it too

The VQ is a sweet sounding engine when it's wrapping up past about 3K


With my old truck, WOT was merely in frustration trying to get the beast moving. Now it's purely for fun!

5-6 probably. If I had a stick I wouldn't need to as much since I'd have better control of acceleration. Will I ever stop talking about that? Probably not

For me it kinda depends... Now it's only 3 or 4... gotta baby the Blizzaks. Very soft tire known for excessive wear. Very good tire!

Summer when the RE92s are on... every chance I get. 10-20 times a day, pushing through corners one gear too short @ 5000 RPM then WOMP! Run it up through 3rd (have I told anyone that I just LOVE 3rd!!! )... WOW! I can't wait to get XGT Zs.

Though I agree that above 4500-5000 RPM, well how do I put it delicately, the Maxima is a well inhaled vehicle. That baby just sucks that air/fuel mixture. (now if only I can feed more to it!)

Driving is more fun when treadwear is not a issue.

15+1

I'm in, WOT a few times every other day or so. When I get in the car without the wife I always let er rip. Then when I get some guy who's never been in a maxima the first thing I do is open it up.

The other day I did a complete stop on the freeway with this guy and his wife and mine, then pretended I was on the drag strip just to give him an idea of how quick it was.

4-5 times a day...usually when I'm on the onramp to the interstate.
The max is awesome!
