7500 rpms at least under load (in gear, with foot off clutch) car loves to be revved don't baby it. it goes to 9k and past that with ease.

 

i dont know about you, but my 1 gear tops out at 41mph, 43 if i go a lil passed redline, which i dont mind doing

 

Yeah, 43 is my happy number.

 

mine too

 

defintely!

its my fav thing to do!

 

the sweet sound of that beep, then the great feel of the clutch, then the sweet sound of that POP! god i love it

 

with the windows up i dont even hear the beep anymore.

 

screw the radio, most of the time i drive with it off...open up all the window, let the sunroof open, downshift and for that second or two im in heaven

 

Having trouble finding a place to redline your car?!?! Holy **** man. I used to redline my 8 several dozen times a week on the commute to and from work. It was just natural.

Just drive it hard a couple of times each time out. I'm not saying rag or beat on your car, but run it up through at least first and second to redline at wide open throttle, shifting smoothly, and have fun with your car.

 

woord! that canyon run the other day must of been paradise!

 

 

You N/A guys have no idea
With a turbo starpped on not only does it feel good but it actually accelerates really fast as well

 

9k not bad for engine?

Yeah right I dare anyone to stay 9k for longer than a minute or two or three. See what happens it won't be pretty.

 

Fail.

Proof.

I've cruised on the freeway at redline in 2nd gear for a couple of minutes just to eject carbon, more than once. I kept my eye on the temp gauge, but no problems, engine liked it just fine.

 

^^^^ look at the video

 

yaxman you beat me to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

LOL!!!

 

i just got finished playin CS and i saw that post and i was like OMG you HAVE NO IDEA! then i finally found the video and you posted!

nice job BTW

 

Keep in mind that the FC in that video was sitting still, so the coolant system wasn't able to work properly. Heat is what will kill a rotary sitting at redline, as you can see from that video.

Actually driving on the road at redline, you can probably empty the gas tank before the engine dies.

Also keep in mind that the 8 redlines at 9k while the FC redlines at 8k, so that was like an 8 sitting at 10k with no air going through the radiator. And the engine didn't tear itself apart, the coolant system just couldn't keep up.

 

For those of wondering, the payoff is about 7:15.

 

ive done that getting on the highway. i was running in second gear for probly 3-4 minutes to clean it out real good.

 

I've seen that FC video many times still amazes me!!!.....ROTARY FTW!!!! REAL MOTORS HAVE ROTORS!!!!

 

a strap on, nice.

 

strap on!
