Lack of mechanical sympathy! WTF.
The 328 engine does not redline till 6200rpm. Occaisionally taking a cars engine to the redline and slightly beyond does not display a lack of mechanical sympathy. The engines are designed to be able to take it and infact multivalve engines are designed to be revved. After all whats the point of having variable timing that doesn't come in till 4K then changing up at 5k. |
Calm down Peter!
As you said you wouldnt normally rev the car that hard and I wasnt implying you did, but to achieve 60in 2nd you took it past its normal peak power point where you would naturally change up IE , a litlle bit of mechanical unsympathy!!
And I agree it doesnt "hurt" a well maintained car now and again..
the 'busa ran to 125 in second , with some wheelspin on the change into 3rd(which is good for an indicated 150MPH)..and near as damit double the MPG of the 535 for an "extra" journey speed of between 30 and 90MPH ..Figure that one out!
