Thanks Brent. Definitely agreed that the engine needs to be friendly in its main operating rev range. What I do want to avoid though is an engine that really feels like it’s tapering off after say 5500. I want the same eagerness approaching the redline that my other two cars show, so if an engine has that, but a redline of ‘only’ 6200 to 6500, then I could be talked around. When I say ‘eagerness’ at or close to redline, I don’t necessarily mean ‘big power’, I just don’t want it to seem like it’s starting to strangle. That make sense?
Cheers,
Glen
