The sound is terrible, but I tried to stabilize a flip cam between my jaw and sternum while driving. Interesting experiement, but not recommended (:

Sweet...so...how does revving by ear work? what revs do you think you were shifting? Very nice..<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Reving "by ear" works just fine.... If I shift like I do my fastback (which has a tach), I rarely let her go above 4K....I get pretty terrified when I approach the 5K mark myself!

I hit the 6000 K mark every time I drive.
I certainly don't judge the driving styles of others, I'm merely pointing out that a well built K code with a stock bottom end can take 6000 - 6500 rpm with ease. If an engine is designed to take the revs, I say give it the chance to do what it was designed to do.

p.s. This has nothing to do with Hi-Po's, but my first motorcycle, a 1970 Honda CB-350, had a red line of 10,500. Guess I just learned early to appreciate the sound of rpm

Ditto that. My '02 M5 has a 7200 rpm redline, I've bounced the needle over 7k many a time!! <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

my daily driver, an '03 SVT Focus has the same 7200 rpm redline. Of course I treat it the same as you do your M5.
