Default how often do you redline?

Hey guys, I was just wondering how often you SI/sedan owners redline? I don't own one but I've driven one and I've also driven a type-s and I find it hard not to redline at least first gear . ><

I know once I get mine I won't be redlining that much, but it's way too much fun.

*first post.

I redline probably only once a day honestly. It's hard to have a long wide open road in L.A. I shift anywhere in between 4-6K usually.

If you have an Si and don't redline at least once a day you should have the car taken away.

On either of em Will. if say your' redline is 8200 your powerband may be max hp at like 7900, (those 300revs go quick so yea it seems to be pulling all the way through there. But running it in a quarter your really wasting time to take it all the way to the R.L.
