I too would say 9K to POSSIBLY 10K, but I seriously doubt we will see it any higher. I believe I read that if you put redline up too high, you will sacrifice low end power and drivability.

Well, the may also say that for marketing purposes. A high redline scares many many people in the US. Only people who really like driving will ever use it to its full potential.
As for me, my '88 TII has a '7000rpm' redline...but 7500rpms is commonplace when taking off, and 8k is no stranger.

That's true. I have a friend who owns a Civic. When his dad rides with him, and he revs it to 6K+ RPM, his father says "You're gonna break the motor. There is NO reason you need to rev it over 4K"
He drives a company car Buick. Tells you enough right there
