Rev to Redline?

[bnajack]

Simple question- will your engine rev to redline? Mine shifts about 6200 rpm in either automatic or manumatic mode.

Yeah it's supposed to shift before it gets to the redline. You don't need to be there to acccess the power of the V8, not to mention the potential damage you're doing to the engine and transmission if it didn't.

Yeah, mine shifts a little early also.

Max. engine HP and torque are at less than max. RPM and so there's little value in shifting at max. RPM.

Mine shifts around 6300 RPM (the few times I've actually pushed it). While HP ramps-up all the way to redline, peak torque comes around 3500 RPM. See graphs at http://wardsauto.com/reports/2009/tenbest/winners/hyundai_10_best_081219

I don't know jack about cars.. but i've been able to get my RPM to redline a few times when hitting the gas hard in low gears. Not sure if thats a good or bad thing...
