This car is my reward for working all week, don't intend to drive it into the ground - so your "milk toast" comment helps. So, Deb Walker is right? This engine shrugged off being so close to the redline? (She's ALWAYS lecturing me about this...)
UNLESS YOU HAVE GONE INTO THE COMPUTER AND REMAPPED IT, YOU CAN'T HURT IT!
Not with the auto stick. It just won't let you do it. The engineers programed a huge safety factor. Like say 80% of safety margins.
I red line mine, with a stick, at 6800. No issues at 18K.
Enjoy the car. It was built to be driven.
SO DRIVE IT LIKE YO STOLE IT. "CAUSE YOU DID!
