Ive gone up to 8000 rpms many times are engines are built to take it... not every day but they take red line very well. Even in an old sport compact car there was an article on an mx-3 gs and it quoted ... with pistons happily spinning beyond 7000 rpms...<P>just keep the oil changes up and love your engine maintain it and it will take those really high rpms such as 8000.

does your rev limiter not stop you from getting up to 8000 rpms? mine stops me at 7800.

You can buy devices to eliminate the rev limiter, but since our engine go so high I don't know why you'd need one.

mine spin freely to 8000 and i havnt messed with the rev limiter, its really not that important to go that high in revs. I only go over redline occasionally because i have 2.5 inch full exhaust and high flow cat so my hp's come from the high rpms. Its usually faster to shift before redline

I'm very happy at 4000. I find anything below that the car is sluggish. Let's not forget that this is a sports car. You want milage, buy a Protege!
