It's not that bad. Actually it's pretty decent. But living in fairly congested NorCal, you *cannot* speed much. And if I get on the car, I'm going 90 MPH in a few seconds. The reality is that I spend most of my time at 2500 RPM, and occasionally get it in the higher RPM range, briefly. The more I think about it, peak of 5800 RPM and redline of 6300 would be perfect.
