I set the rev limiter at 7200.

Try romping on the loud pedal of a full race stroker 410ci 351w with 650HP on the motor alone and a small (250HP) shot of juice just for fun My rev limiter even with a 4 inch stroke is set at 8000 cam lift over .700" and duration at .050" over 310 with 13.5:1 compression it's a blast to be sure but my lowly P-car with a carbed 3.0 is just as fun if not more so. V8s and H6s are totally different animals and each has their good and bad points for me the good point of the 410 in my Mustang is it really is a racecar and I get the total racecar experience that I wouldn't get with a smaller turbo/super-charged V6 or V8. In the P-car I get a whole different experience, almost like I'm driving a F1 car with smooth and quick revs, a unique sound etc. If I ever decide I need a V8 sportscar I'll get a Pantera or a Shelby Cobra. Several years ago I drove a track-prepped Shelby GT350 Mustang and got a similar experience to what the P-car gives me, it's that little bit of nostalgia combined with race heritage that makes these totally different cars so enjoyable to drive. To me the engine is a big part of the experience that makes a 911 a 911 and I wouldn't have it any other way. I think that's how a lot of P-car owners feel and it's a big reason we'll spend 10x more money on HP upgrades than we would on a V8. To each his own to be sure but I'll keep the flat six over any other option.
