just thought i would share

Wow, it's rare to see an automotive publication not bitching and whining about the gas mileage, oil usage and lack of torque. I like how they present them just as they are - not that big of a problem. Nice find :D

 

i was pretty impressed too, the writer(s) sounded fairly unbiased while writing it.

 

heh...bolted down

and fix your link

 

I thought our redline was 9500. My 8 goes to 9500.

 

That's not redline, that's fuel cutoff. Redline is where the solid red stripe on the tachometer starts (hence the name). I don't suggest pushing it above 9000 rpm. If you stomp on the gas of any car without a fuel or electrical cut-off, it'll rev long past redline. Not a good idea though if you plan on driving it for long.
