Excessive Downshifting?

[Silverarrow240]

So... I have always been a paddle driver... Almost continuously... Well, If not I'm in sport mode.

Since I got Exhaust, it has gotten worse... The blips are simply magical.

Will this cause any accelerated stress to the engine? I also do 3-4 redline pulls daily... At least through 2 gears.

I mean I have extended platinum warranty, but I feel like I am rather hard on my SQ... But I feel like it's built for it.

Anyone else ever feel this way? Or is this like "I bang my hot wife too much"... Lmao

That's why Audi put an S badge there so it meant to be driven hard...

Jeff don't be a bitch, 3-4 redlines isn't enough!

just get a new one when it starts to not feel as tight as usual

This is really the only acceptable direction this thread could possible have taken LOL.

I agree with drumnjuny though. If you're letting the oil get up to temp and doing regular maintenance, go HAM. Driving hard is different from abuse.

no honestly though, if u wanna be careful (i am extra careful) just do the services crazy early. oil every 5k should be standard for any car you rip on regularly... and you can do trans and diffs early if u are so inclined. if you do them yourself, the services are pretty cheap.
