Relax. They run these engines at redline during testing for hours at a time. How do you think they come up with a safe redline engine speed to begine with?

[What was the rpm at that speed?
How much is a ticket at that speed?

In Canada there is no ticket for that speed...
I believe it is simply jail time...

You can run it all day up near the redline and you won't have an issue.

Without a doubt, my favorite gear is 2nd. Nothing beats the feel of getting your back stamped into your seat @ 5k-7.5k.
