LOL.
_At_ redline shouldn't be a problem or the redline should be lower :))
But put the engine at redline and the gearbox in top gear and you'll
probably end up going faster than the chassis (or the tires) are
designed to handle. Do that on a twisty road in the rain (or in a
blizzard) and life could get interestingly short. :))
My brother once had his engine at redline for 20 minutes straight. It
was a 351 Windsor V8 hauling too big a trailer up a mountain. The
engine finally needed rebuilding after 954,000 miles. $1,500 later it
was as good as new.
I don't even want to know how long it would take me to fill 20 browser
windows with (what was it?) 50 tabs in each (Is that a thousand
pages???) when I'm on slow dial-up.
Doug.
