highest rpm ive ever gotten my car up to was 6400... im waiting to really build it up before i take it to the track. i dont know about the previous owner but he was like 60 years old so i dont think he was redlining any gears
i tried putting clutch pedal all the way at the top and it still does it. yea reverse is a lame gear i dont like it, its so hard to get it in without grinding on any car.. and ive driven like 5 stick shift cars and its the same thing every time.
