I've hit close to 8000rpm in 5th with 4.44 gears. *shrugs*

Obviously it's not very healthy holding a steal seal engine at such high revs but I had to do it once to see what it's like.

I hit 8k once, but that was in first, kicking the tail round a bit Wouldn't normally rev past 7. 6500rpm for me is 140km/h. I reckon i could hit 150 if i pushed it a little further. Engine is J spec 12aT with Microtech Ignition and 2.5' exhaust (9 psi).
