nearly hitting the RPM redline

[sHoCkAbSoRbEr]

people!

in an AT, would it cause any harm on the engine if you aggressively step on your gas to accelerate in a flash with your RMP reaching 5k-6k?

[OTEP]

Ok lang iyan. The tranny knows when to shift. Ginagawa ko yan sa Sentra ng kapatid ko.

[sHoCkAbSoRbEr]

nakakatuwa kasi yung tunog ng engine pag nag-aaccelerate ka ng ganun... para kang nasa race track... :wink: just dont forget to buckle up! :wink:

[OTEP]

Masaya nga. Lalo na kung sumisigaw na ang mga sakay mo. hehehe.

[sHoCkAbSoRbEr]

at nakahawak na sa mga seatbelts nila at nanginginig! har har har!

[sHoCkAbSoRbEr]

but seriously... it wont cause any trouble ha... like may masirang part or whatever???

:?: :wink:

[chieffy]

okay lang iyan ma'am sHoCkAbSoRbEr...bilis mo pala magmaneho...ako lagi ko ginagawa iyan kapag nasa C5 na ako :mrgreen: ...basta maluwag na daan at safe

[sHoCkAbSoRbEr]

No problem will arise from redlining your car since most new cars have a rev limiter to cut-off the fun should you go overboard on the RPMs.

On older cars, redlining and sudden downshifting (or anything that can give a sudden surge of power to the engine componenets) can damage some components like the A/C compressor or the water pump (worn out/deteriorated because of age/mileage). That's why it a good practice to sometimes turn off the AC switch when you plan to do some hard driving.

Of course, make sure you do this in the proper road conditions and situations as well.

yup! that's what i'm doing... i switch off the A/C before speeding para full force... kala ko wala lang yun... nakakatulong din pala...

yup, be a defensive driver at all times... :wink:
