How often do you go WOT????

This does not include runs at the track, because....well that's obvious.

I don't drive my truck but maybe two days a week ....and that is in rush hour traffic....so not much chance for me to hop on it.
The other morning it was about 65 degrees and I had just stopped and picked up some coffee.....figured after I did a U-turn I would just punch it and see how she feels in the cool air.......
The truck just took off like a raped ape.....felt soooooo strong - made my day.

How often do you guys go WOT???? I think I drive like a granny sometimes.

I probably do it at least once a day, sometimes more sometimes less. But you really can't help it, especially when cold outside.

Once a month at most. I drive the truck 2-4 days a week.

I drive my truck everyday and I probably nail it like once a week. I don't like to rag my truck.

Wot

At least once a week, that's how often my truck gets out to flex. I've got a beater that I drive most of the week. WOT usually only occurs after 60 MPH, otherwise the F1's go up in flames.

That's so funny I was wondering the same thing about other L owners. The even funnier part is the more I think about taking it easy on the truck the more I'm gettin' down on it. I usually get on it a couple times when I take it out but I try to roll on the throttle smooth if I'm going slow or from a dead stop so I don't spin the tires. I've spun the tires a total of twice so I go WOT but I would never think about beating on it to the point of doing line locks or donuts.

If I'm driving passed say one of those ice cream/burger joints and there's a crowd outside and I go WOT and spin the super charger up, all heads turn. That's always impossible to resist. But lately I have been being super-mellow on it. The last three times I drove it I don't think I got into the positive boost on the boost gauge.

To me I just can't see how going WOT on what's sold as a "performance" vehicle could be classified as "beating on it". Line locks/donuts/going sideways spinning the wheels 'all the time'.....I consider that beating on it.

i usually go WOT about once a week. im living in wyoming right now going to school, and its kind of depressing when i get on it. the elevation here is 7200ft, and with a 6lb pulley i only see 10lbs of boost. back home in ga i seen 14lbs with only a 4lb.

I have a L swap on my Supercrew running 12psi and evertime I drive it I have to mash the pedal...the low end snort that the s/c makes has to be enjoyed evertime I drive it..now since gas prices have dropped 60 cents I drive it all the time and enjoy the power that it produces...why have the performance if you cant enjoy it?
