Re: revving the engine

I had a Lada, 1500 cc, and a claimed 82 hp. (!)
If I was in a hurry, I'd run.
No, it wasn't that bad. If I was in a hurry, I'd take it to redline every shift (6500 rpm), until I got up to speed. If I wasn't in a hurry, I'd shift around 3000 rpm. The car lasted 10 years, 250,000 km. The body rotted off. The engine still worked fine, original clutch. It used about 1.5 liters of oil per oil change.
