consequences of flooring the car?
I hardly ever do, but am just wondering what are the consequences of flooring the car (putting the pedal to the floor). I can understand that if something is wrong with the car that flooring it has more of the potential to do harm. But what if pretty much everything is in good running mechanical order? I mean out of anything in the car, from flooring it the tranny is taking the most stress right?

If you have a sound comming out of the center of your car (tranny area), do not engage the power mode or floor the car. You can harm the tranny far more (IMHO). But then again, if the tranny is to be replaced, then it has to be replaced. Just hope it's not both tranny and differentials.

I am not understanding your question. Although that may be because I am always flooring my SVX and don't see a problem except increased fuel usage

From a 'rolling' start these cars are awesome. And in the curves not a lot of cars can touch them. I've been in curves at very high speeds and feel completely confident the the SVX will get me out. And it does. Usually the smart ass that thought his car was bad is left way behind when we get to the curves. The others may be better in the quarter, but for the long, high speed, curves, I'll take SVX anyday.

Well I have pretty much floored every car I have had, and quite often, and not had many probs. I doubt its GOOD for the car, and may cause parts to wear sooner, but if it something drastic then I have been lucky. I had a 95 V8 Thuderbird that I put over 100,000 miles on like this, then a 95 Mark VIII with another 100,000, driven the same way, and oh wait thats the car that blew up. . .
Seriously, I am with Kevin on this one, I don't think its that bad, the car is made to be driven at all RPMs and throttle positions allowed, so have at it! I floor mine on average 2-3 times daily |
