5th is a cruising gear...You DO NOT WANT to floor it in 5th unless your at like 130mph or where ever 4th ends.

I guess it makes your clutch scream for mercy and stresses out the motor.

I dont see what the big fascination (with low rpm 5th gear pulls) is anyways
A lot of people seem to talk and complain about this
Just stop doing it, it's bad for your car and there is NO POINT
