Hello everyone, I am the newbie here and I bought my FK 8 about 5 months ago now and it's been a joy to drive with. Every now and then I will practice launching my car to get to its top speed in every gear. I do it when the engine is fully warmed up. However, is it a bad thing to push the car up to 7000rpm in first gear and hitting the rev limiter occasionally? I have only done it a few times but I wanna know more about the car and what the best way to accelerate at a stop light without damaging the engine or the transmission. I have someone tailgate me on the road every now and then and therefore I wanna learn how to launch my car correctly. I find it harder to control the throttle in first gear because when vtec and turbo kicks in it hits 7000 rpm so quickly which activated the rev limiter to cut fuel. Thanks everyone.
