How often do you redline your camry?

[v-cam]

Down here in Australia, Camryz are seen as "old folks" cars that rarely rev over 3 grand.

I get laughed at when I tell people I have a lowered GEN3 Camry with Rims, thats untill they see it, and drive in it!

So I was thinking, used camryz in this country are usually in great condition becuase they seemed to rarely get driven hard.

I almost redline my camry at least once a week, not because im trying to, but when overtaking the car is so willing to do it (auto tranny)

so are camry owners granny drivers?

all the time its too tempting.

probably once in a great while, i have a lot of control over when the car shifts with my auto, so i usually let off at about 5300 to let the trans shift if im up that high for anyreason... which isnt terribly often. I dont like letting it get up to 6 grand, you can see the gas gauge going down when its that high

5500 RPM is about as high as I take it, and revving it any higher seems a moot point. It's past the peak HP point and all it does it make more noise. Even that speed, I've only taken it up twice in the last 4 years.

My old Camry ('88 with 3S-FE engine) was the same, anything beyond aout 5500 RPM was just noise.

let's watch some videos of some smart people blowing their engines up on youtube.

When it was winter, I rev'd it up so it can warm up faster. But not hardly anymore.

ive bounced it off the rev limitor about 3 or 4 times, and it sounds good . i redline it maybe once a week, if that much.

I think all the 4 bangers have to redline it more than us V6's.
