i also drive it like its meant to. drive nice and safe from cops for the most part and enjoy the luxury, but the other part is pure vtec. whats the point of owning your cl-s if your not enjoying it? aznboi, thats wack. hitting redline is fun every single time for me. at least once a day. not consistently hitting vtec daily will cause your engine to start building carbon. carbon and gunked up engines dont perform as well and dont get as good of gas mileage. vtec is there for a reason.

I do agree that vtec will burn off carbon deposits but I dont think theres that much everyday or even every month or two like I do. I use top tier gas at either chevron with techron or Shell's V-Power with extra additives plus I run a bottle of gas treatment every 6 months or so. I assume my engine is already pretty clean when I do hit vtec. I just need to decide if i want to seafoam it when it hits 105k
My mom drives a Camry with 215k on the engine and very rarely do we hit over 4k. If i can get 215k and still be as strong as the camry's engine then its well worth not hitting vtec often.
