I asked the guy did it cause some damage to the engine, he replied that it actually made engine more smoth snd silent. And also that such vehicles used to give better mileage than soft handled vehicles with owners. The average speed was above 85km/hr they covered 400 kms within 4 hrs. |
Now thats interesting.... . I hope it is true because recently i just could not resist and have floored my swift diesel car 7-8 times , i hope it does not affect the run in process !! Rest of the times i just use a bit of the turbo say 2 to 3 seconds ( enough for you to leave the cars behind) and then upshift . Dont have an rpm meter so dunnow my rev limits while doing the same but i guess should be less than 2500 rpm !
