And, conversely, how many of you never floor it?

a lot

-scootr

All the time...

It's not an accelerator, It's an ON/OFF switch!, and Yes, I like to hear the sound of my own exaust!

I'd say at least once a day - gets rid of the hesitation problem that seems to effect most of our cars at part-throttle.

An old classmate said he could count the times on his hand the number times he's floored his Eclipse Spyder. That was a year's worth of driving.

I said I'd nailed my A4 5 times before I even get it out of the garage!

All the time, i even slow down below speed limit and floor it again.

every damn day http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

Like Dirt Man said: On/Off Switch

72K miles, 4th clutch, 5th set of tires.

Never! Mine is actually bolted to the floor, I got tired of holding it down. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gifhttp://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/eek.gifhttp://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

<---cant floor it all the time b/c I have to partly learn how to drive stick http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif

Heheh, I like the sound of my intake!

Maybe once every few days do I floor it. Fun! I wish we had more fun roads here in Rhode Island.

When I'm drivin' Subymamma's OBS, I floor it all the time!http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/lildevil.gif She doesn't get mad unless I'm not shifting very smoothly.

only when driving.

hmmm wonder if this is goint to turn into a roll call thread

Nearly all day(while I'm in the car)everyday.

Ken

Most days are slow days. When the car is low on gas, the pedal gets pushed down further than usual. Hence the reason why I get 360 miles per tank.http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/cool.gif

There's a reason why I get 15mpg... http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

Feh, I get 300-320 miles per fillup and have more fun doing it.

All the time. But I don't usually let it go past 3000 rpm. It makes for some constant gear changing though.

Any time the light turns green. I also love to downshift coming to stop lights and listen to the burble of that wonderful boxer 4!

Jason

Daily! Lots of times daily just to feel her accelerate and to hear the sound of my Stomung.....I need to go for a drive now actually.

I can't imagine going a whole day without feeling the floor beneath my foot. Seriously, I floor it at almost every stoplight or stopsign, and always when entering a highway. Why not?

Chad

I actually tried driving conservativel back when gas here was $2.00 per gallon, and I could only manage about 26 mpg vs. 23 mpg when I drive however I like. I decided it wasn't worth it.

Skylab must have a 50 gallon gas tank!!

I floor mine too. But sometimes I feel bad for the transmission. <sigh> And I shift at redline. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/frown.gif I feel this "thud" whenever I do that.

if it wasn't meant to be on the floor they wouldn't have allowed it to go there. i too get a great 15mpg. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/blush.gif

also why i had my "off" last week... http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/mad.gif

great with a AT, either all the way or not at all!

I seem to get better pickup if I don't floor it but push it to just before the floor... So that would be only once in a while. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/wink.gif

Once I hit the freeway it's open game.

And I hate it when I'm riding with somebody who likes to short-shift all the time. My sister did that in the Miata (no low end torque) and it was painful.

*raises hand*

all the time.

how else will I hear the intake.

Every time I drive!

Full throttle? At least once or twice per outing... gotta keep those turbos in good shape! http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/wink.gif

Cheers.

Who said I ever let my accelerator off of the floor. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

Hey Hey get back down there I didn't say you could get up. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/lildevil.gif

hehehe, you can do other things than floor it? damn i never knew!
LOL now with the intake and soon to be Stromung, i am afraid of what i am gonna do lol!!
Mike

There is nothing better then down shifting up to a corner and flooring the accelerator to pull the car out of a wicked drift. I'm thankful when there isn't a car in front of me so I can round a corner fast. I tell people I don't speed, I just don't slow down around corners.

Steve

I actually took a hack saw to my floorboard and cut out the section under the accelerator. That way I can say that I push it through the floor. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gifhttp://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gifhttp://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gifhttp://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

I got sick of the floor getting in the way of all my fun.

Mike

P.S. All the time by the way.

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">You mean there's another position besides on the floor? It's hard to resist a little "less than weak-ankled application of the gas pedal" every now and again. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

It's on the floor only when the Passenger Side Airbag isn't with me (translation="wife"). http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif

About once a day... since break in.

every day...every time i drive

Yeah, I floor it all the time, but I find I get better power, or at least what feels like better power, from a one-second squeeze to the floor than a stomp.

24/7/365...

I don't floor it all the time, only when I need to. But I do bring it up to 5600 rpm few time in a day. just to clear the carbon

since i hit 1250 miles on my rex.... every day...every time i get in....jes for the feel....=p

Here, Here!

everytime i'm in a tunnel. love the echo of exhaust through the tunnel! oh, i have to go through the tunnel a lot! WOT is just wonderful!

jz

Thats not the way your supposed to drive?? http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

To set the mood// whispering voice like the little boy in the movie The Sixth Sense. And Saying.
"All the time".

Depends on the car...

Legacy: All the time
Achieva: Not as much
'66 Mustang I6: Never

Haven't had a chance to floor my WRX yet. (Short drive to work, and very little free time to drive it, even though I got it 3/16)

As soon as I'm through that break-in period, watch out.

sometimes.....

...well really everytime i start the car up, go down the street, stop at a light, merge onto the freeway ect, ect, ect.....

ev-ery freakin' chance I get

Wait!? There's another way to drive besides keeping the pedal mashed to the floor!?!?1 (Or did someone already mention that http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/tongue.gif)

My car: not too much (it's an auto and there's plenty of oooomph to surprise people at a light at about 2500 rpm's)

My girlfriend's '00RS: Whenever I get behind the wheel (which isn't often enough) She doesn't like it too much, but whatever...

-Brian

Us NA 1.8L don't have a choice!! http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif

as much as possible. The N1 attracts a little too much attention from the guys/gals in blue. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/frown.gif

I hear you Bahumut. We don't have a choice, especially when you are driving around with 13 RS's and you know i just gotta keep up http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

Are you not supposed to shift at redline? I hammer all the time and shift pretty damn close to redline and sometimes bounce it off the rev limiter when driving real hard. Sure, It might not be great on the car but you live once. Have fun,drive hard and be safe and smart!
Excuse me while I go listin to my car. It wants to talk to me.

Um, routinely?

I don't know if you know about Old Highway 40. I have the opportunity to drive if two times a day. As soon as I am on the steep, twisty road my foot seems to find the carpet. I don't care what people think, I am a very safe driver (when not on 40)!!

Every chance I get!!! But not many chances since the 10, 105, 405 and the rest keep my speed down to 15 mph(damn city traffic). Argggh!!! The torture!!

A.D.E.D. --> All Day Every Day!

ok know we all know who not to buy imprezas from when they sell em' http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif

I floor it to much as well and always smells that darn cat convertor

Hey even during break-in I floored it.I just did't exceed the Max RPMs. Cars love to be "used" just treat the mechanical bits with respect. W O T !!!
