Yes - that's possibly true, however how much time do you really spend up there...?
I'm not an autocrosser or a regular tracker - I'm looking for road performance.
The thrill of acccelerating up a back street hill at full tilt is where it's at for me.
I'm looking for 1st and 2nd gear performance in the 2-5000 rpm range.


Although I WOT - most of the time - its very difficult for me to even redline in 2nd gear (65mph).
3rd gear redline (107mph) is a very rare event.
