Default How tough is the VQ35DE?

I like to step on it every time I drive. I have over 2k miles on my car now. And I always let it warm up before getting on it.

Also, I've done 4 Gtech 0-60 runs in the past week. Am I harming things???? Posted something similar under repair to no avail.
Thanks guys

doubt it, the car is running well under its limitations so people like you cant bring it in constantly cause its broken. if you wanna take it to a point that might harm it, your warrenty would be voided anyway.

keep on floorin it.

yea, ares is right. your past the breakin so dont sweat it. i know ill probably get called out for this but ill shift at redline without even letting it warm up. i know that the vq35 isnt bulletproof (especially after seeing the smithtown video) but if its under warranty and you did the break-in properly theres no reason to baby it.

My case has always been that if a Manufacturer states a 0-60 time, the car should be able to handle that whenever you want to test it. Period. Now, as a voice of reason, if you leave every stop light like that, do not expect the engine to make it to 100,000+ miles.
