Good to know, I do not want to hurt the car.
I’ve put 40K miles on S2000 and another 200K on various other 4-cylinder MT cars.
Sorry to hijack the thread but #internet, was not so much me not knowing how to drive but a combination of me thinking what the other driver was going to do while needing to slow more than planned because of tight quarters, I had planned to slow down to 25-30 but midway into my pass had to slow down even more than planned.
My new motto is: when in doubt rev it out (or I’m probably in too high a gear).
