Can IS take a beating once in a while?
Well I was wondering because i was playing with the eshift, which I had loads of fun with...
I just want to know how well can the IS take a rev or two with the eshift? I did the following... Highway.. Had it on eshift and ect power (gas gulper) engine braking A LOT went up to.. 5750 rpm at 5th gear(or 3rd.. or 4th.. i dunno, the lcd said 5th but i didnt feel the shift) (estimated, it was on the 3rd bar after 5000) I was also flooring the pedal. hard acceleration without burning out (which I don't know if i can do with this e shift thingie..) Down shift to quickly accelerate pass cars that can't drive... and used to cut lanes. there is roughly 5400 miles on this car, its a 03 so fun so fun.. I dont do this all the time, this is the 4nd time 2nd day i played with it.. this much. I did notice that the car doesnt switch gears too well if I was flooring the pedal, like it switches when I let go.. either that or I was gassing so hard I didnt realize it switched. I just want to know if the car is smiling back right at me or crying for help.. i dont notice anything wrong with it, did anyone ever encounter problems? or don't recommend me doing this again?

Dude, NOT IN YOUR BREAK IN PERIOD!!!!, this could mess up your car for the future, decreased accelleration, reliability, engine internal problems, i mean, its probably ok now, but no more, look up your break-in period, if you do it right, your car can gain horses after the period with nothing done to it.
