Just a quick Question?
How come some rx-8's have higher redlines than others. My girlfriends car goes to like i think 8000 and i've seen some that go to 9000 and show up to 10000? Why is that?

automatics have lower redlines than the MT.
if your GF's car is a MT, then it goes to 9K

well, if its a MT then it GOES to 9.5k :P however the redline is 9k. fuel does not cut till 9500 so it goes till then and stops

but hes right, about the autos having lower redlines, i thought it was 7500 tho? i could be wrong
