Are Mustangs considered made to be fast?
I have been wondering if the fact that I normally accelerate from a stoplight at around 3k RPM is pushing my car too hard for daily driving and is putting excessive wear on my car. After doing research, most responses to this are "Don't accelerate the car fast if its not a car thats mean't to be fast". So all things being considered, would a 2012 Mustang be a car that is made to go fast and can handle faster accelerate better, than say, a 2012 Honda Civic could?
Basically is accelerating at 3k RPM normally from a stop too much for a 2012 Mustang for daily driving.
3,000 rpm on any modern engine is normal operating revs.
Sure if you baby it off the line at 2,000 you will use a bit less gas. If you are in a hurry take it up to the red line. That's what the manufacturer rates the engine to run at, without harming it. If they didn't think it could do ~6,000 rpm perfectly fine, they would have made the red line some lower number.
Not sure where you are asking about driving. "Nana's knitting circle" maybe?
I will contradict your advice for a moment and say that some smaller engine economy cars, you HAVE TO drive them hard just to extract what little power is available to merge onto a freeway at safe speed. The life of the engine is more dependent on checking fluids, making sure you have oil and cooling, than it is on how hard you drive it.
I'm assuming that you mean you take it up to 3K RPM before shifting (as opposed to dropping the clutch at 3K RPM). 3K RPM for a modern engine is absolutely nothing. If you're taking it up to 3K RPM and dropping the clutch to take off from a stop light, then you'll eventually damage the drive train (transmission, diff, clutch); but still the engine should be fine.
Any day I don't hit at least 4500 rpm, I figure I'm not trying hard enough.

- I'm buying a bike/scooter 125cc, what would be considered high or low mileage? I'm looking to purchase a Honda CBF, Honda CBR, Aprilla RS, Yamaha YBR or Yamaha YZF… Any recommendations? Anyway, to the main point! I was wondering what a high mileage for a 125cc scooter/motorbike would be? And how old of a mototbike I should get? I understand that it depends on how the person has looked after the bike etc however, what would be considered a high mileage, low mileage and medium mileage?
- How come skyline can't be made in usa under infinity? I mean there's an Honda nsx under acura nsx in the us. There's Honda Euro that is not avaible in the us but they have an acura tsx replacement for it. Is it only a thing under honda and acura that can make it? I mean why couldn't infinity have made a us version of the r34 r33 r32 skyline GTR in the us? I know the GTR doesn't pass the US law that is why I'm asking why can't infinity make it like Honda and acura does with the nsx/ the honda euro/acura tsx
- Is 190560 miles on a 98 Honda civic lx considered high mileage? My sister gave me her civic and it runs great. There's hasn't been major problems since I've had it, other than the coil. With the right amout of money it was an easy fix. I've been wanting to change the oil but the guy at Wal-Mart suggested that I use the high mileage oil. I don't think it'll really hurt my car at any rate but is my car really high mileage?
