How bad is it to Redline your car on a daily basis? Lets see...It is the same as m*sturbating everyday...It would be fun but in the end you are just f*cking yourself. Not a smart idea..

Are you talking about the TL? If so, our max power of 260hp comes in at 6100 RPM.

Actually, my car maxes out between 6300 and 6700. It's pretty much flat through that range.

TL-P - stock, you're probably right.

to tell u the truth, i never been in a TL-S i was talking from my experiance from my buddy's TL-P, nice car, his rev limiter kicks in at 7.2 or so, but seems good for power, but i dont like the fact that u have to rev that high to get the power, i like cars that get power in a little lower range of RPM's.

i can mention my car as an example, but i still dont like my power band, i hit max HP at 4.3k but agian my rev limiter kicks in at 6.2, but again my engine isnt a high revving engine, my power and torque kick in as a punch due to a turbo charger, and the way my engine is desinged, its one hella torquey enigine compared to its HP. talking about and engine makin 145hp and 190lb tq at the wheels. we have too much torque, but i tend to like it. but y dont i like my power band? well its because u have the HP and tq kick in as a punch in the 4-4.5k range RPM, and its starts to die slowely till 6k rpm. i cant floor my car. if i floor 1st gear it will be alll wheel spin after turbo kicks in. wich sucks, it good power but if u have no traction your going no were. especially when u slightly mod these engines, u will start to lose traction in 2nd and 3rd gear. right after the turbo kicks in, and if u are highly modded, u will loose traction in 4th gear too. thats y i dont like my power band. if i can shift my power badn to start at 4.5k rpm its better than to hit it at 3.5k rpm
