my car gets a beating, daily, so redline would be my choice

obviously i dont go blaring down a 30 at top whack but when I get the chance to, I put the right boot down!

i never redlined the corsa....

the rev limiter is there for a reason... to stop engine damage.... its not going to be overly bad for a car to hit it

driving every where at 2k is worse for an engine

I potter around between 2-3k most of the time cos I dont need to rev it any higher to drive at normal speeds. Always wait at least 15 mins before I go over 3.5k to make sure the engine is nice and warm

Between 2.5K to 3K revs.
30mph Roads i'll be on 4th gr, But if i get the chance when someone is up for it, i'll chuck it back into 2nd and rev it on every gear upto 6.5K revs, Sounds sweet until you hear BANG. haha. Never happened to me tho, but my car is off the road for now coz of a broken gasket.
