Vancouver Blue-8

Guys,

First of all, I must admit that I have been a bit of a wuss since the ownership of my WB 8... because I never redlined my 8. I do high-rev it, highest probaby around 7,500 ... mainly because the car is "always" already fast enough on 2nd gear rev @ 7,500 ... never felt the need to high rev any further and I have always felt like Sonic on the road. However, last night, O man ... I finally did it, did it just for the sake of doing it, since a lot of you guys suggest that you should redline regualrly (if not once a day), to avoid carbon build up in the engine, etc.

It felt so good, and most important of all, it felt so right. When I hit 8,5000 there's a sound signal reminding me to change gear, this feature is so cool. I can certainly see myself do this more and more often. hehe

That's all folks ... just wanna express how much more I appreciate my 8 now, not that I wasn't ...

There goes your cherry! Congrats. You'll be "beeping" once a day from now on, trust me! It's like playing with yourself for the 1st time.

Yup, you're supposed to do that (once the engine is broken in, of course).

Hope your engine is broken in.

If you thought 8500 was great, try above 9000

*****. throw on the R-comps and go run it this weekend.

Ike

With the way I was sliding around on the roads today I felt like I had R comps on my car... Then there were the morons in trucks flying by only to see them in a ditch about a mile up the road.

Try 9300 when you get the chance.

I could never hear the beep over the engine noise for some reason. The car was completely stock.
