Aggressive driving and JB4 risks?

[Aarvix]

Maybe he means metric RPM!

It's literally impossible to cruise at 80mph and 1500rpm due to gearing.

Lol.. Why do you have one then

We're talking about daily driving.
Not spirited.
Max torque At 1300rpm. Therefore it's very adept at accelerating at low rpm.

Most roads are limited to 50kph. Accelerating at 4000rpm on the Stinger will easily land you a speeding ticket and possible hooning charges.

Does having the Stinger mean outpacing everyone to the next set of red light?

Most don't realize the great benefits of gentle and coasting type of driving style which the Stinger is very good at, it's a grand tourer after all

I tend to keep my vehicles for as long as they last. An agressively driven vehicle has a lot more wear and tear than a sedatly driven one.

You must be fun at parties.

I prefer gentle and quiet sex with my partner so that neither of us ever orgasms. Then she isn't worn out at the end of our relationship... You really don't know the great benefit of having passive and boring intercourse.

Sorry, but sometimes ya gotta have a little fun and excitement! Try it, you might actually enjoy it!

Good on you for having that much self control.

I realize that this is an old post. But, I'm sure by now the people on this thread have replaced their blown spark plugs 15 times.

Are you fishing? I have replaced a blown spark plug three times, four plugs total in cylinder 6 since new, and cylinders 1-5 are on their second plugs. And I red line from time to time, but my powertrain is bone stock.

Ima of the agreeing opinion above that modern cars are well capable of handling full revs often without any harm whatsoever. As long as the maintenance reflects that demand, that is.

Hey, man. How have you been? Happy New year.
I've replaced a blown spark plug on the Stinger two times in a year and a half time frame. Each time for merely accelerating too hard in Sport mode. My car is bone-stock with the exception of a CAI system, receives "by the book" scheduled maintenance, and is babied. In retrospect, when I had my '05 Mustang I drove that hard too, but gave it the same TLC as the Stinger- but never had a single blown plug in 10 years of ownership. I get that the engine and form factor are completely different, and it wasn't a twin turbo, but just sayin'.

I replaced my factory plugs with regapped HKS at 3000km's and just recently swapped back to NEW regapped NGK and made my highest dyno numbers lol, also the thing is a beast and loves snapping diff bolts from a dig !!!

But no... spark plugs have been fine for 30k

Peace
