WOT is what these cars are for.

As far as rpms I have been into the 8's many times.

As far as top speed I'm guessing you wont ever get to the limit of the car.

Of course you could be safe and keep driving it around granny style...

This is pathetic. I know people in my Korean/Viet. Veterans club who flex more on the throttle than you do. Please WOT your car.

Last Sunday morning I took the 7 out to get eggs for breakfast...with 18 raw eggs I was taking easy.

Pulled into the garage feeling empty or missing something...look over at the PFC injector duty cycle was in the 40s...
