I just purchased my first Pcar last month and am still getting used to it. So far I have not hit 5K on the tach, nor have I been over 100 mph. (at least in the Pcar)

I just read a post from TAYNUT that said, "It happens to me when I am in 3rd under hard acceleration up and around 100mph."

Wow, 100 mph in 3rd gear!

What is the highest RPM you have ever had your car?

How high do you normally rev under daily spirited driving?

Just curious.

Thanks,

Joe

 

1 month ownership 800 miles (thank NE weather for that)

Commuting usually no more then 4500. Spirited 6500ish. Once close to 7k.

105mph so far for top speed. (it will be higher soon)

 

oh....idle to 4000 is a hell of alot slower rev then 4000 to 7k (that comes quick)

 

Are you guys serious? To redline at least a few times a week every week for over 2 1/2 years now. Get out there and drive em' !!! : )

 

In order to make sure the rev limiter is working properly, you should bounce off it several times each time you drive the car.

 

I red line it all the time. I'm not worried cause I have a extended warranty just in cause stuff happens (RMS).

 

please excuse the 4 smiley faces... its a must

 

my rule of thumb is i dont beat on it til its warmed up... but i drive it the way it was meant to be driven

 

Dude......I always hit the red

 

hahaha

Are you talking about a piece of furniture?

I've hit 6500rpm in 6th gear

 

Yea, these guys are right, you are not going to hurt the motor! I don't make it a practice to hit the rev limiter but go to 6800 daily, just don't over rev on a downshift. These cars start making power above 4,000 rpm.

I agree...

Until I'm up to proper temp, I keep it below 4000...after that, all bets are off. Nothing beats 6800...one of my favorite places to be.

 

Haha that first post makes me think he is driving like a 1000hp machine. Get that thing up there! I love the power band.

 

Not too loud....My wife is beside me....

 

You've got to go for the redline, that is where the fun is in the power band. Of course, warm it up first...
