if you were going to damage something by "flooring" your car, then they wouldnt let you do it.
Man up, go fast.

Its your car. Drive it however you want but i find it very difficult to not floor it with this car. Its like that energizer bunny, its just keeps pulling and pulling.

Oh I have never put it into DS mode before. Do I just push the shifter to the left? What difference does it make? Is it bad to floor it without DS mode on? Also when I reach my crusing speed do I turn DS mode off?

yes, just push the shifter to the left and dont touch it. If you shift it up or down when to the left it will become 'manual' so just to the left and leave it. I drive this way for the most part, mostly because it keeps rpms a bit higher so it sounds better especially when cruising at ~40mph then hitting the gas.

On a side note I often leave it in DS mode on the highway and the rpm stays in the 4k+ range..should I not do this?

I give my car full throttle every single time I drive it, and it also sees redline at least a few times a day as well. Modern engines that are taken care of can be abused quite a bit and still remain strong, good running engines that go for upwards of 150k with no serious problems.

I floor it every chance I get, which isn't nearly often enough in Northern Virginia traffic. My wife giggles like we're teenagers again. It's awesome.

Every so often, if I'm really lucky on my way to work, the long, windy entrance ramp I take onto the Fairfax County Parkway will be vacant except for me. I live for those days...

What does floor it mean? My car only has an on/off switch that controls the gas.
