How hard do you drive your car?

[GTRacerX]

Bought my 2013 back in August 2012 and I just hit 5,000 miles last week. This is my daily. As far as driving habits I love going fast but I've gone to jail once for street racing in my younger more reckless days so guess I'm kinda paranoid now about going to fast on the streets. I have yet to take it to the track but I want to.

Holy crap, so your car will only see 5,500 miles in a year. That would seem very odd to me, owning/driving a car less than 500-miles per month, I might almost feel like I would be missing out.

My 2014 daily driver is 3-months old today, and has approx 7,000 miles on the clock already, averaging over 2k per month or over 24k per year.

That brings up a good point, if I worked somewhere that was just 5-10 miles from my home, there would be a good chance my car would not be driven hard much at all with less opportunity to drive it hard.

I will have over 23000 on my 2013 when it turns a year old in 2 weeks.

I bought mine in Feb '12 brand new and I have 5600 miles on it now.

I'm sure a big part of that is because the car has spent at least half that time down and/or in the shop for the build.

I've had mine since March '12 and it's got 9600 miles on it. That's 2600 more miles than I put on my 93 Cobra that I owned for 7 years. So while 9600 isn't a lot for most people, it's a ton for me especially in one year considering the car is just a toy that gets driven when I have the time.

Drive it like it was advertised. 1 motor and three tranny rebuilds later, oh I forgot the rear end once. Btw its whining again . Banging gears will demolish a mt-82 as for the rear end and cyl 8 misfire that destroyed the head. Well thats just bs I have no tune just cb you should have heard Fords excuses. Too be fair they did cover two payments and always have me in a rental no hate.

I drive mine somewhat hard, always want to hear the exhaust bounce off of cars and building. lowest between 3-4k upshifts, and still knowing people to get warranty covered is the reason I got the extended 75k mile warranty. So I'll beat the hell out of it nicely for 3 years or so and trade her in on something else, if she lasts that long. lol

I drive like a grandpa with the exception of at least one WOT sprint for about 5 seconds on each and every drive I make.... LOL!

[DirtyD]

I drive mine probably like most normal Mustang drivers. Not the douchebag ones though. Lol

Depending on where I'm driving, and whether or not I have a passenger with me, I typically shift around 2000-2300 RPM through all gears. Every now and again if I feel like giving her some wind sprints I will get on it.

Not hardcore, tire smoking burnouts. Just some simple spin 'em and go ordeals.

Not drifting, as I don't feel comfortable enough doing that. Lol

I have powershifted yet, but I have bounced it off redline a couple of times.

[JKrieg]

I'm with Derek I'm dont do burnouts or rev no douchebag shit but I push mine harder than most
