Yesterday was the first time I kept the car in 2nd gear all the way up to 102mph and it did like 5800 RPM the highestI ever had the engine up to.

If you were doing 102 @ 5800 in second then drive must put you around 164 mph / 3,350.
I have only had mine a few days and with less the 60,000 on the clock I can't see it even hitting 100 mph.
I don't know much about these cars yet but clue me in as I have a few Mercs, BMW's,Jags an stray Aston Martin I wanna take on. What's your secret and when does you car start bouncing off the rev limiter?
