drop it into neutral during downhills... shift at lower rpm, and always look ahead... slowing down to wait for a green will save you gas, always look far ahead at traffic and lights, etc...
oh and take offs... just roll off the line when the light turns green... keep it below 1000 rpm when taking off from a dead stop (unless its a steep hill :-P)

^^^Well it's not good.
Anyways, I say you gotta pay to play and if you wanna step up to a performance car you have to REALIZE that there are certain costs above what you would pay for a standard economy car.

Doors detaching at 35mph, no..........but, at 36mph maybe! As far as the tires popping - they will probably melt right before they pop!
At 35mph they start melting, then just as your rpms climb and the 36mph mark comes up, boom.......the tires pop like a balloon!

First they begin to melt at 35mph, then they pop right at 36mph. Anything over 37mph and the wheels fly off the ride and the rotors act like dremel cutting wheels.........and slower disappear.
Good luck and have fun though!
