Another nooby question from me
How bad is it to frequently rev a car to the redline or generally give it the boot everywhere you go? What kind of wear can we expect and to what parts if you were to do this all the time?
Personally I idle my car for 30 secs on start up and hardly ever go above 2,000 rpm in general, but sometimes (only when the engine is at OT) I will put my foot into it to overtake a truck or for some other reason. Sometimes it hits the redline (~5,500 rpm) and it gets a bit crude and it makes me cringe haha I don't know how people drive everywhere like this but I know a lot of people do.
When I floor mine I get thick black/brown smoke from the tail pipe which is probably just from fuel as these engines tend to run rich, but I noticed on startup I get a tiny poof of blue smoke for a second which shocked me! What would cause this?
