Just out of curiosity, how often do you guys go take your car to redline or bounce off the rev limiter?

I go to redline maybe once or twice a week. Never hit the limiter.

Fairly often. Sometimes I'll ride the rev limiter in second for quite a while on some autox courses.

Driving around I hit it occasionally. My car doesn't make any power up there so it's not as often as it would be if it would make me go any faster.
