what do you mean?constantly or basically being on the red line?a car(gt or Glanza) should idle under 1000rpm all the time.....if you mean being at high revs as in flooring it no it isnt best....best to take it easy at times lol.....but it depends on your spec really

In theory driving like a granny should make you engine last longer compared to red lining it all the time. But as long as everything is up to temperature, then I wouldnt hesitate and dont to redline it.

Why have a fast car with plenty mods if your not going to drive it like intended? The rev limiter is in place, so should be OK. Or are you thinking of raising it?

it wont be bad aslong as like everyone said its nicely warmed up its got plenty of oil etc. obviously if your bouncing off the limiter every second its not gonna be too good. but goin threw the rev range wont be the end of the world but will obviously increase wear over the engine than if you where hovering on low revs

unfortunately when you have too much power you cant help but hit the limiter all the time when full throttle :(

I'd say ive driven my car pretty hard since ive had it back but also on the other hand enjoy cruising at a nice comfortable speed without out too much throttle....... i dont floor it really unless ive warmed the car up for at least a few minutes..........
