Note: this doesn't mean all the way through three gears. Just how often do you make your truck shit and get :)

Whoohoooo. Looks like I am the only one who truly beats on their truck. I guess that is why mine has been out of service since August :(

:jest: :jest:

I think that one every turn I end up flooring it!!!!!

1-3 times a day here. Although some days can be 7-8 times through the gears! :drive:

1 time a week. More if I come accross some worthy races. Most of times I drive my truck like a grandma.

haha i have a good mechanic i race cars with so if i break somethin he can fix it. I floor it 7-8 times a day depends on the condtion's raining never dry mostly 7-8 rarely will i have a day i wont floor it

Man ... I drive mine like I stole it. :devil: In my 5 mile commute to work I usually stick my foot in it 4 times at least. THe trip home is usually the scenic route, so there's more there. I wonder if this has much to do with my 10.39 mpg last time I filled up.

1-3 times a week generally but sometimes I get on it at every stop light.

its too new...im havin to much f*@$in fun still...10 miles to the galon sounds bout right :)

When turbo'd I usually stick to a few times a day unless there are opportunities I can't pass up. When N/A I am flooring it all the time. :)

All the time.. I leave every redlight like im racing someone.. although im not fast it sure is fun :)

i dont even drive mine to and from work. but when i get home i usually go out and have some fun.

Never :jest: Yea right
. If you beleave that I have some ocean front property in Arizona. At least once or twice in the mourning going to work and at least once on the way back. Sometime on those cool mournings i'll acualy stop on the road and do a good smokey take off. :burn: :hail: Love that boost. The fist month i had the turbo I think everytime I took off it was to the floor.

4-7....

1-3 times a day but only cause there are alot of 2 into 1 lane roads and i cant get passed when most of em are from dead stops :devil:

1 time a week. More if I come accross some worthy races. Most of times I drive my truck like a grandma.
What he said.

Seems to be once, twice, well maybe about 15 times a day lol. I have extra parts.

i beat on it a few times a day but other than that it's easy driving.

4-7 times a day is in the lead

I am on active search and destroy everytime I get in my truck.

Never :)

Never :)



I believe that one. :eyes:

Dude you should see my back tires...they are like brand new!

prolly are brand new :devil:

Maybe it's because that Radix can't spin the tires. :jest: J/K

And still get 15-18 mpg :devil:
Its my Vette-with-a bed :)

I don't drive it every day;I drive my old Civic about half the time to keep the truck from aging too fast. That said,I hit it fairly often and would do it more if I wasn't concerned with gas mileage or wearing it out too soon. Have a five year loan on it.

I drive it every day and have it to the Floor untill there is someone in front of me!

I drive it like i stole it.

And for some reason today at 60mpph I florred it and she suprized me, and threw my head back. I love it when you are not expecting it to pull that hard, and she throws ya round a little. Its not too fast but good enough for now.

Honestly there is a dent on the floor under my go pedal.

Thats what I like to hear. I was starting to worry about ya. lol. Thought maybe you need to see a doctor, having that much power and not using it.

Since I dont drive my truck every day anymore, I have to flog her a bit every time I do take her out. :D

nothing like a good flogginhttp://www.ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_jest.gif Kenny when did you start using nautical terms. well at least navy jargon?

Honestly there is a dent on the floor under my go pedal.
That's what I thought. There was no way you could have all that power and not use it. Never my :moon: .That would be :wrist:

I think I qualify as a 'grandpa' even if I don't have any grandkids....1-3 times per week was my answer.

i know how you feel...that drive by wire throttle body wont let you get anymore out of it when it bottoms out :eek2:

:devil: Wait until the new HPT is available.

I can't go through all three gears cause my trans won't shift into third at WOT :jest: but, 1st and 2nd get exercised pretty good. :D

My next mod is a big hole under the Gas Pedal so it will go down farther :)

:emb: umm once every two weeks maybe. It is not good to floor it in my truck :eek2:

:funny: :funny:
and I thought my 11.5 mpg was bad

must...resist...heavy...foot

1-3 times a day because I have to make sure all the boost is still there. It might leak out on the driveway over night if I don't test it and exercise it. I can't have a flabby girly Hummer... gotta keep it strong!

1-3 times a day in the lead

Once I started modding an that was two years ago I floored it at least 5+ times a day and thats punching it. Everywhere I went though I was 3/4 throttle! Ive always beaten up on my truck! Since I put the LS1 in 2 months ago its ridiculous how I drive! I punch it so much I cant even try to count! Now that I can literally roast brand new wheels(16's) its hard not to everywhere! When the LS1 was put in I had the 20's on and I killed those poor Toyo Proxes so I went back to the Firehawk 16's for now! Im getting right at 10 miles to the gallon driving like John Force!

I floor it maybe 5 times a week once the newness of new mods wears off. Problem is I keep breaking $hit!!
The first week or so that I get new mods I probably floor it 4-5 times a day :devil:

I think the title should be changed to "how often do you drive normal?"

:jest:

hahahahahahaha

yay im on 200 posts :eek2:

grrr maybe not, fourms doesnt seem to be keepin up with my posts or something....

maybe a titin is lurking :lurk:

At least 4 to 7 times a day more often in the spring,summer and fall.Is this hot shoes annomous?Is there a 12 step program here are or we just working on our reaction times?

I voted once a week although it is probably a lot less than that. Strange but since I got the Radix I've become sort of "gun shy" of the accelerator and subconsciously hold back even when I want to floor it, especially at a stop or at low speeds where there is a risk of breaking the tires loose. At 70 MPH I can floor it no problem, although not for more than a few seconds, as the speed quickly builds to uncomfortable levels. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I don't think 8 times a day doesn't even come close for me. Probably why I get 6.5 mpg. :chug:

more than 10 times a day and the rest enough to beat everyone off the line on stoplights , sometimes they convert into races,ehhe

Most every time I enter the interstate usually level at 75-80 mph. that's when I catch third. I also get lane choice from traffic lights 99% of the time.

139 responses! good job fellas!

bump for the new week:)

I put 8 times a week but I don't really keep an accurate count. Once in a while I just stop in an area with no traffic and do a burnout. If the road's a little wet it is fun to feel the rear try to pass the front. Really never lit the rears up as much as I do with this truck. The G-Tech needs a little exercise every once in a while or it gets upset from being in the drawer. :) :drive: :burn: :devil:

bump! for hump day!

Bump for the weekend, not sure how many truck guys are left out there,

have a great weekend!

I haven't floored it in about 4 years...

Bump! this beatch for Tax Weekend!

1-3 times a day is the leader folks!

8 or more times a day is why I get a little less than 17mpg as my EDD!
And I don't care if gas goes to $5 a gallon :devil:

I put 4-7 times a week, but since I sold my Vette (yesterday), the ol' truck is going to have to suck it up and start taking a beating. I need to get my fix somewhere. :D

God Forbid someone leave a light a little faster than me, whether they are trying to race or not......i must always win!

most of the time more then once every time I drive plus nitrous thru it at the track

nevermind..thread is old

1-3 times a day on weekdays...10-12 times a day on weekends. :nod:

Well sometimes I dont floor it!

Well hell this thread is back from the dead! Damn over 4 years old.

anywhere from once a day to , just about every chance i get !!! LOL

Man, I must be getting old.... I only floor it about once a month, maybe less. It has been a long time since I have seen a thread this old still moving. Have fun guys!

Someone messed up a thread merge, a poll for transmission builders but asking how much you play around :jest:

Moving to the Truck Stop since it seems everyone is rolling with the actual question. :)

Ive always wondered how people dig up such old threads :hmmm:

haha i noticed the tranny poll as well. I thought I had clicked on the wrong thread.

Maybe it's because that Radix can't spin the tires. :jest: J/K

4 yrs. ago guys were givin Blown Chevy shit. Good to see we still are! :D

Depends on how many lights I hit. Each redlight is a opportunity. But I try not to every time to help my MPG & my tranny/ rear. If I need to get in front to change lanes, bet on it. Or if there's something that looks interesting, & ricers too if they look cocky.
Sometimes I just have to. Good stress reliever. Or nice empty road. On ramps or if at light w/. no one in front.
Most times I drive 5 mph over speed limit. I just don't waste any time gettin to it!:burnout:

what? a thread older than me!! I rarely go WOT on the street, 50% gets me goin' :devil:

once a week for me. lol. i dont drive my crew cab as much anymore. its garage kept for the summer. trying to save some miles and gas. lol..

what? a thread older than me!! ...50% gets me goin'

Hard to believe. I bet u thought u posted in em all.:punch: No one cares that all u need is 50% old man.:D

I give it a good romp 5-8 times a week..

I laughed when I saw the title of the thread and saw Grippy posted the topic! I figured he was asking how often your truck is on the ground and not on stands. BTW is Grippy's truck on the ground these days?
