Default How high do you rev your car?

I have a GS4 and was wondering how high you guys rev your cars on a normal day.

Always...at least twice everytime I drive it. I do feel bad though sometimes when I drop it at a traffic light because my car smokes the tires, goes sideways and sounds mean. I try not to do this if somone's in the lane next to me, especially if it's an older woman with children. I dont want to be a douchebag. Sometimes I just get the urge to GO!

But if it was say a 19 y/o girl with 3 babies, you'll smoke that ***** out since she's not old yet...?

But I suppose if she was 19 with 3 kids we are probably paying all their bills anyway so they can just handle a little tire smoke to the face.

My GS 400 power button is always on and vsc always off... every trafic light presents opertunity...Daily driven. Reves as high as the stock shift point. I take-off regardless if someone is beside me or not.

Redline a few times a week and at 256k on the odo, power is still very impressive.

redline multiple times, each time I drive. GS400 just too tempting!
