devious

Sometimes when i race the stock cars of the world..i (idiotit mistake) sometimes redline it, and when i do, the car stutters giving the impression it's going to stall..to relieve it, i just put it in neutral or put it back on auto..Am i destroying my car, or is just one of those things that u shouldn't do alot???

by the way my motto is, I paid 30k for my car, it's paid off, I wanna enjoy the hell out of it...

No need to put it into neutral, in fact I recommend you dont do that.

All that stuttering is is your fuel cutoff. The computer cuts the fuel supply to the engine when you hit the rev limiter causing the jerking. Taking your foot off of the gas and allowing the engine to slow(rpm's to drop) will restore the fuel supply.

Do that OR simply upshift. Why hold it in 3rd, when there is 2 more gears to go.

Maybe he redlined it in 5th?? In that case, tell me where you drive around so I can STAY THE HELL AWAY

yeah, just upshift or let go of gas. actually i think putting the car in neutral is a bad / dangerous thing to do. i think the car could lose control easily when you lose gears suddenly at high speed

Actually, I've been having more fun with just going up and down the bracket lately, especially around town where the speed limit is 40 or under. It's nice being able to keep it in 1st.

I redline a lot, but I never purposely drop it in neutral(OUCH).
