Its about 50/50 with me, depends on where Im driving and my mood. I'll be sure to get some WOT when I start driving it again. We havent had a dry day here since last saturday so the Stang has been having alot of garage time.

i can't remember the last time i put the pedal all the way to the floor.

i go 3/4 throttle pretty often tho.

after the turbo goes on, i am sure i won't going wot for a while until i am confident the tune is safe.

Seriously? I hit WOT AND 5500rpm - everytime I get in the car. I spray the piss out of it too. My car hates parades, it wants to RUN! I bought it expecting to put a new motor in it. So far from 113k - 177k it still runs like a beast.

on a side note my I run full synthetic motor oil and I changed it at about 2k miles the last two changes.

so I take care of my car and then i beat on it. it's worked so far. the only things to ever go out on me was my throw out bearing and my battery.

My favourite thing to do is hammer on my car and spin the ass end sideways.
Then I play a game with myself to see just how long down the street I can keep the car going forward, yet still having the ass end aimed at the sidewalks...

Usually this happens at virtually every stop sign, red light, yield, crosswalk, school crossing...
and typically any other reason I need to slow down and then accelerate afterwards

I used to drive my car like this....**** starts breaking when you hammer it EVERYWHERE though. i've really calmed down. I like my stang too much to beat it to the ground anymore

I have to do it at least once everytime I drive it. But lately I have been trying to be good and not get on it too much. So usually once in the morning on the way to work and once on the way home. The rest of the time I putt it around to save gas. Already knocked down 230 miles on this tank and its barely at a quarter.
