2005 S2000 rev happy engine?
I just bought my very own roadster. It's a 2005 Honda S2000 with 60k miles. I've babied it already and make sure to do everything right. While driving with my dad, I was getting on an on-ramp, so I put her into 2nd at 25mph(about 3k rpm) and got up to about 7grand when my dad started freaking out telling me that the car wasn't meant to handle this. How is this bad for the car if the engine was DESIGNED to have a 8k RPM redline? The car was completely warmed to operating temperatures. Is this actually bad for the car? Mind you, the F22C is a handbuilt engine with forged/racing internals right out of the factory. I know that hitting fuel cut is bad, but I am quite sure that shifting at 7500-7800 is perfectly fine.
