How Hard do you push your car?

You know i hate to push on my car but it is a little like the car desine is for speed. (I guess for me). i guess it feels so right.
But we have races here in CT on this main strip a couple miles long in a nice area. But mad cars are raceing on the road and watching at all the fast food places.
So i take my car out for about an hour and i say i punch her about 6 time the night. And drive quickly to get to cars.

I dont push it all the time but since the weather is getting nice more and more cars are comming out.
I guess i run it hard only once or twice a week and back to my question you think thats bad for the car.
I have 3550 miles bougt the car in dec last year.

all i can say is that i love 2nd gear and i think i spend to much time in that gear while crusing around town. i wish we could control 1st in SS.

i think if honda allowed us to manually shift from 1st to 2nd while in SS i would spend all my time in 1st and 2nd gear. this car loves to pull hard

i love to go WOT at least once everytime i drive her...

The engine is made to be driven. The tranny isn't.
