Redline Night vs. Day
Has anyone noticed that the redline increases to 8000 at night?

It’s due to the change in gravity when the sun is on the other side of the earth. The effect lightens the rotating mass of the crankshaft. Basic physics!

Not sure if this a prank or not...the 8k marker is the only red one day or night.

The redline is 7500. I think I hit the revlimiter last night. Was going to a meeting and just as I saw the needle approaching "redline" I remembered that it was 7500 despite the only indicator being at 8000. I let off right around 7500, but think I just touched the rev limiter. It's pretty dumb that it's not red at 7500 at night. No big deal, but still dumb.

Driving faster in the dark totally seems like a smart idea.
