[QUOTE=Keith Z in DC;3755166], nor has it ever been red lined.
I thought you were supposed to red-line these cars! I understood that if you never routinely rev these motors things don't get stretched or loaded or something like that (maybe I read that in Bruce Anderson's book?). The motors have rev limiters that prevent over-revving anyway, unless you over-rev on a forced downshift or something. Maybe the newer engines are different but I routinely rev up to red-line just about everytime I drive my 3.2 Targa (after it's warmed-up). It's never been apart and runs like an an angry top. It's really amazing, I wish I could thank the guy who bolted it together in 1987!
