Wait these cars really can't handle WOT in 6th? I've never heard this before and I do it all the time, should I stop? My DP is ceramic coated and heat wrapped which should help...
It's not as dangerous as say.. in the mazdaspeed world people would blow engines doing that since it creates too much load. Either way, it's not good for a turbo car. If I feel I need to give it more than 50% in 6th, I'll downshift.
