You know the beep I'm talkin' about - 9000 rpm! So have you hit it? Is so, how often? My car has almost 1600 miles on it now and I have never pushed it that far yet. Am I crazy?

 

Gotta hear the beep twice a day

 

I try to find the rev limiter warning beep at least once a day, if not more. I didn't start making it a habit until 1000 miles or so, but now it's part of the experience. Gotta keep those plugs clean!

 

Once or twice a day for me (the car also).

I beeped maybe twice during 1100 miles... :D
First time was at about 800 miles I believe.
Should do it more often...

 

the first time it beeped it scared the **** out of me cuz i didnt know it did that

 

twice a day. sometimes more. always twice when giving someone a joy ride for the first time.

 

When I had a cold air set-up and the Greddy you can't hear the beep.....

 

A few times each time I drive it as long as no one else is in the car. The wife freeks whenever I go over 6k when she is in the car.

 

i try to hear the beep once a day.

 

Yes - you're crazy!

I like to hear the beep at least once a day.

 

At least once a day, sometimes more.

 

At least once every time I drive it !!

 

Try it you'll like it. Just make sure you pointed in a safe direction. I like second to third best.

 

Once is not enough...

Cheers

 

All the time....probably why I'm barely getting 17mpg...hah hah

 

Ditto.

 

Every single time I am in a traffic situation that will allow it (ie - whenever I can get all the way to the top of second).
Probably 5 or more times a day.

 

A couple times a week for me. My fiance' actually likes to hear the car make some noise.

 

I redline 2nd gear every chance I get -- probably 5 to 8 times a day. The 2 to 3 shift at 9k (or 9.5k) is awesome -- don't get many chances to redline in 3rd and usually avoid in 1st and shift about 7500.

Time to take off the training wheels and live a little.:p Redlining the rotary is like letting the dog out to play -- it just plain makes em happy.

 

Two or three times everytime I drive it.

 

Good one, but I was expecting more like "hey, if she revs to nine grand, I'd hit it!"

 

Now don't get me wrong, I rev it plenty. But usually only to 8k or so. I've always been a rotary fan, but this is my first to own. I guess it's just latent Piston Engine Disintegration fear. I'm going to make it point to "hit it" in the near future!

 

Do a search and watch the video where the dumb asses are trying to blow up their 2nd gen RX-7. They have it full throttle for over 7 min and already have one blown apex seal. The engine finally goes but only because they left the radiator cap off. Then the car catches on fire because the exhaust temps got to hot and actually caught the carpet on fire. Once you watch this video you won't worry so much about hearing the ding.

I hit the redline regularly (depending on traffic and the PoPo) about twice on my 7 mile commute to work.

 

it's a classic
