Default How often do you guys go WOT????

I'm curious how many times you guys go WOT in a week? As I've read multiple threads about the ISF taking up lots of abuse and still going strong to 100k+ miles no problem. Really impressed with the reliability of the ISF!

In a week? A minimum of 5 times WOT when commuting 20 miles to work, mixed hwy and local. And then there's the commute back home. Daily driven as well.

Everytime I drive it, even when I'm braking I'm WOT. Can't stop won't stop.

every day all day! I also DD mine and have 80K hard miles. only thing I learned is if your drag racing a lot to change the diff oil more frequently.

Pretty often, but definitely more often when you have an exhaust and/or headers LOL.

hahaha good to hear fellow F owners get to enjoy their F to the max everyday. besides diff oil, is there anything else I should be aware of?? I'm at 48k miles and changed oil and brakes 5k miles ago and I just got the car 3 days ago. I want to take care of the baby haha.

No room for that where I live. Once every few weeks I actually take the F out of town and usually have a little fun. Fortunately with headers+exhaust you don't need quite put the pedal to the metal for it to at least sound badass!

as often as possible! i also downshift and blip often on the freeway just for the funs of it.

absolutely LOVE the sound of downshifting from 4th to 3rd going 80 and trying to catch the car perfectly with the throttle so it doesn't jerk in the slightest, then instant going wot immediately after, vroooooom ha

or a perfectly timed double downshift, 5th>3rd, thats fun too. ahhhh, but the 3rd to 2nd, thats the tricky one for me still

Pretty much at least once a day....when there's a jackwagon going 35mph in a 50, I like to drop it to 2nd and drop the hammer to pass them and let them know they are being lame.

2nd from 3500-red line is a blissful combination of high-pitched scream and subsonic muscle-car goodness.

Me too! It's like a coinflip around 3000rpm whether it'll blip into 2nd, or give me the long, hurky-jerky shift.
