You will burn your clutch out sooner, tires quicker, brakes faster.....But that's the fun! I always assume that the clutch in a manual car is the weak link and will bear the brunt of all the Hard driving, thus really protecting the engine and tranny(unless you constantly go past redline) Drive too hard too long and make mistakes and the worst that will happen is buying a new clutch, which for me is an excuse to get a nice tilton or ACT. Just keep it safe.

Not just the clutch...

The synchros, CV joints, rear diff...

There is a way to solicit a car without being hard to it. Be smooth. Fast and smooth.

Allow some time for warmup and cool down...
