Going WOT every day or every few days is good for your car, It lets it breathe and it opens up its nostrils it's like having a stuffy nose and taking a cough drop your sinus clear up. Also breaks a few things loose and lets the car stretch. I see more cars have issues that are babied then ones who get to stretch its legs every other day or so

There's probably not a day I drive home from work and don't hit the gov at 130mph. But actual mashing WOT probably only a couple times a week. There's a 90° left turn from a stop sign where the stop is at a 30° angle up, and the road you're turning left onto is a slight decline maybe 3° down. Whenever there is no one in front of me WOT is required. I can get squirrely even with TCS on. Google maps doesn't depict the incline differences as severe as they are.

Woah! I've hit 132 a hand full of times, but haven't tried since I got the gov tuned out, soon...

And I love how everyone has a spot around them or on their commute they just have to rip the car at lol

I've done 140 in mexico during the winter on winter tires. Can't wait to beat that record and pin the needle

Nice man, I hit 163mph going slightly uphill without spraying meth on all season tires, curious to see how id do on level ground on spray. Maybe break 170. Who knows. Would be a interesting feat for the N20 community

We got this car for my wife and she loves speed, but I doubt she'll ever do WOTs. However, we took a small road trip this wknd and I stepped on it to pass some trucks on the hwy, I saw the RPMs at 6K before I let off. It has respectable power for being stock and the steering is very responsive. Steering thru long hwy curves at 90 mph was fun in this car, handles really well at speed.

But this car will probably only see WOTs when I use it which only comes up about once a month. I like doing them on an uphill best, puts a good load on the engine.

Well said, it really does shine at high speeds. Good on you for stretching her legs every once in a while

I grabbed this 2013 in July and live in your same city. Excellent choice(s)!

When I first got my car, I would go WOT multiple times a day....after about 6-8 months, I settled down to a few times a week.

Cool man! We should do a meet-up. The weather is only getting better. We are near Sky Harbor, just south of it.

Absolutely! I know there have been a couple that are planned next month when the weather will be cooling down some. Stay in touch and we can get something going
