Double the RPMs and you are in business



Take your time learning the car's charechtaristics.... you will find yourself going into turns progressively faster everytime you drive

Be safe!

ah, you do know how to drive stick, right?

Just don't go over 5000 rpm during the "break-in" period of first 1000 miles, in any gear. And yes, it's not goona break changing gears at 3000 rpm.

No, it's ok for the car..... but Mitsubishi considers that racing the car, and your warranty has now been voided. j/k

P.S. Congrats on the car.
