hey, I was just wondering do you think if you serviced your car every 5000km (3000 miles) and everything was looked after perfectly but you drove your car hard everyday as in just revved to near redline but didn't do any clutch dropping or wheel spinning how long do you think the engine would last?

how often do you guys redline? have you guys had any problems from driving the car too hard too much? how many kms, miles have you got out of cars you've driven hard day in day out?

I know the car wouldn't last as long as a car that was driven with less revving, it is common sence but would it still generally last a long time.

mainly talking about celica engines but I mean in general, bit of a silly question just bored haha.

actually its better for a car to be driven the same way everytime, if your gonna run it hard then run it hard all the time. Family cars have more problems from what ive seen then single driver cars because its more then one driver with different driving styles.


Its never good to rag on your car. And in our cars you dont have to red line to get max power, after (i believe) 5400 your just waisting gas, you will have hit the end of your power band (dont quote me on the number, but its no higher then that)
