5500, 5800? what about 6200? these engine are built for revving.

 

I drive my Durango like a human. The Mustang is another story. It sees 5900
everytime I drive it..(5900 is where Bama tunes shift at). I've manually shifted it
at 6400-6500..and I liked it. So I had Doug email me a new tune that shifts at 6400.
Haven't loaded it yet...waiting for track day.

Just do your maintenance, she'll be just fine.Just don't drive it like Steve McQueen everyday.

 

I actually set my rev limit to 5700 but I'll take it up there and peg it off with a power shift maybe once a week. I guess it depends on what I end up next to at a red light... blasted an Aurora the other day, lmao, I could barely hear him revving but he did it so I answered, kinda escalated from there, lol...

As long as you take care of the maintenance, you'll be good...

 

5,500,000 rpm? That must be some kind of a record... the pistons must be going faster than the speed of light.

I drive my 07 GT/CS like a little old lady 100 percent of the time. I've never lit it up, and have never been over 4 or 4.5k rpm.

 

My car is an auto but it redlines at 6800 rpm.

 

How do you never go above 4500rpms? This car doesnt feel like it makes any power until 3500rpms, and then it starts to pull like a muscle car should. If it hurt the car to go above 4500rpms, they would set the rev limiter there.

 

You don't own a mustang to drive it like a b**** haha

 

mmmmmk

 

What can I say, I'm an old guy =)

Seriously though, we bought the car to show and in rememberance of my wifes father who had a 68 GT/CS. It lives in storage most of the time and only gets maybe a couple thousand miles put on it a year. Lots of people buy Mustangs to drive the heck out of them, I'm just no one of them =P

 

Buy a CAI/Tune and go out into the street and floor it, I garuntee your perspective will change. [8D]
