WOW. I learned that the day I bought my car. A buddy of mine had a friend w/ a FB, and he told me to redline it and see what happened. I love that little thing!! Ricers needs shift lights, racers need buzzers

Redlining the car is a daily thing for me. I think its a disease! The sound of the engine at redline, the buzzer and the flames when I shift are VERY addicting. I need help.

hrm... I wouldn't know... auto sucks. I can't wait till I have the money to get it converted, although my dad doesn't want me to, so I'm thinking that if he doesn't let me, I'll just sell it and buy a TII.

I freak people out with that buzzer. When someone is riding with me, and I hit redline, I act like something broke. They start panicking... Definately worth trying that if you haven't before.
Never redlined your FD? Have fun rebuilding the engine once its carbon locked...

Apart from cleaning out carbon deposits, is there much point Redlining? I'm not sure of exact figures, but Torque would drop off somewhere around 6000rpms (Turbo car), so wouldn't that be the optimum shift point?

Shifting at redline is best for power on ANY car. Unless it runs out of steam at a low RPM. By shifting at 7k the arps come down to 5300-5500 depending on the gear. Perfect!!

rotary engines like/need to be redlined it helps clean out the carbon deposits and for shifting you would want to take it a few hundred rpms over so that when the rpms drop during the shift you are still in your power curve.
