Mine shifts 4100 or maybe it's 4200rpm, haven't paid that much attention to it. But at those rpm's it feels like the engine power is already going down rapidly. I can't wait to get my startech installed to see what kind of difference it will make.
OK, lets cut to the chase then !!

On my way home there is a particularly nice stretch of road with a looooonnnnggg right hand curve on it (a motorcylists dream).
From a low speed roundabout (40 mph) to the middle of the corner is (I would guess) about 1 mile (1.6 km !!) in distance.

I bottled out last night at 120 mph. Not because I was scared, but because the car was pulling like a train and would have gone on and on and on.

The thought of getting caught speeding at 120 mph + was what coused my right foot to lift.
