Off topic, but how about an F1 engine which idles at 9000 - 10,000 rpms, those are some serious revs.

i heard you can switch to overdrive and that will help

my friends buddy said it was to the right of 6th and you had to push down on the knob to get there.

the great thing aout doing 70-80 mph @ 4k rpm is that you can still achieve 30+ mpg cruising.. gotta love that..

If the rpms were lower in 6th on the highway the car would feel like a dog.

For the F20 yes it redlines at 9 but its kinda like the first 3000 rpms are kinda unusable. But alas I still love having the power up top, where it gives you a climax feeling.

Are AP2 revs really that high at 80? I know in my AP1 at 80 mph WITH 4.77 gears I was at 5k rpms. Now I am at just over 4k at 80 with stock gearing.
