Do you think he's talking about an un-loaded RPM?... Heck never tried that, it's a sports car not a dragster... Sorry for my ignorance... I can't see dumping the clutch on this car at 4k rpm... To each his own... I do know that the limiter is at 6,200 rpm but if you miss a shift while down shifting from 130 mph or so, it'll peg the gauge... Not recommended, I mis-shifted once going into a corner at the track and sent the motor spinning into F1 rpm's... Thought the motor was going to be toast....

We need him to clarify this... If it's un-loaded or under driving conditions... Trust me, 6,200 is the cut out...
