Don't Worrie about the High RPM's

My S is around 5900 rpm when I'm Crusing on the Highway.

How fast are you going at 5900 rpms? I just bought a 08 and have not had over 4000 rpms yet,only 300 miles on it so far.

Must get pretty noisy in there

My STi with a full TBE spins about 2750 @ 70mph and it's pretty loud. But w/e, a good sound setup should make things right.

I actually find the engine quieter in the 4-5k range than the 3-4k range, something with the harmonics...

I Like it in the 5 to 6 Thousand Range, the Car is very Responsive and you Make Pretty Good Time, I'm so busy Watching Everything I don't even Notice the Noises.

This Little Car will Run Tank after Tank after Tank at 6 to 9 Grand and not miss a Beat.
