How hard do you drive your car?

About like it was intended. It's a hot rod, so it gets used, but I don't think I'm abusive.

Do you just run it when the opportunity comes along, or do you beat the snot out of it every chance you get?

I'm easy on it most of the time - especially now that it's hot. I can't remember the last time I was "on it."

Burnouts?

Sure, at the track.

Donuts?

Never once.

Drifting it around corners?

Nah, not with the intention of "drifting" but I've had to relax the steering wheel a bit as the rear was steering itself through a turn.

Powershifting?

Yep. My vice. I'm smooth and it's easy for me, so it's not nearly as abusive as some of the clunky driving I've seen from people that don't powershift.

Redline it every time you drive it?

I've only bumped the factory rev limiter a handful of times, so I would say no.

I've made 30ish passes in the car and that's about the only time I really abuse it. I've taken it up to 125 a couple of times too. Some of you guys taking these cars to 140+ are pretty much insane, especially with the stock suspension.
