It depends on my mood too. 1-3 for a nice drive, not seeing many hondas, but 6-8 if I do see alot.

Very rarely, maybe once every other day. With as much power as this car has in the midrange, I rarely take it over 4500rpms. From 3500-4500rpms I can feel a heathly punch of torque to satisfy my need for power. I don't like pushing the car hard to near redline becausee I always feel the need to shift hard

Very rarely and if I do floor it, it's in passing. As for redline, pretty much never since I have an Automagic.

Since I have an automagic, when i floor it, it won't really readily go beyond 4500rpms, so i really never go to redline..

I bought the car in september.. so from then till a month ago i'd floor it AT LEAST once every time i drove it.. so prolly 15-20 times a day i'd floor it through first , and about 5 times a day i'd keep it floored through 2nd

a month ago i bought a bike, and declared myself SMC , now i floor it once a month .. hahahahahahaha

I'm glad you have a sense of humor. I know you don't want to go to the track tomorrow to avoid me though.

Is it really that bad if you floor it with the automatic transmission? I put down 6-8 but 90% of the time I let the car do the shifting.

Hmm, I floor the car a whole lot. Last night I raced for a few hours and probably floored the car 35-50 times, I can't really put a number on it. I did however basicaly destroy another piece of Junk Centerforce Clutch last night. Damn rebuilt VW's & Mustangs made me do it!

I probably get it up to about 125-130mph everyday going to work since I have to take this toll road and there are always ferraris, porsches, and lamborghini's flying on that road too.
