Hi ZB. Assuming you're being serious with these questions ...

Any time you push a car to its limits, you're putting considerably more stress on it than if you were to drive it gently. This applies to any vehicle, mechanical device, piece of electronics ... even your own body. Walk 10 miles, wait a few days, then do run/stop sprints for 10 miles. See which leaves your muscles and joints more sore the next day.

Common sense, I believe, provides the answer to your questions.

P.S. Dude ... sustained 100+ MPH on public roads?

P.S.S. 18, but driving 20+ years go. Do we finally have proof of reincarnation?
