Why doesnt my engine shut down?
I noticed when I test drove an 8 that the engine shut down after exceeding 9K rpm. Well I had purchased my 8 shortly after test driving that one. Now that I have over 1500 miles on the engine I decided to push it to its LIMIT, well turns out there was no limit or if there is it consisted of blowing up the engine!! I brought it to 9.5K rpm and it didnt shut down (I was waiting for the engine to shut down but when I hit 9.5 I decided to lay off the gas before I caused permenant damage to the engine). Is this common? Does anyone else have this issue?

- And no, I doubt it is 10K, at least not in reality.

It's an all to familiar episode - dealer salesman wanting to push the cars before their breakin time...
Come on MNAO get a grip on your dealers - this is a sports rotary - not a frickin Honda
Plus, you are 25 years old, right? Have you ever owned a rotary before this 8?
