OK, either those ranges are incorrect or my cars computer is whacked.
There is no way the car has revved that high. I assumed 4 was like 7300 and 5 was 7500rpm.
I see now what you meant about revving in neutral not hitting those numbers!
I've been the only driver since buying it last year and I have not done a 6to3 or 5to2 downshift.
When I had the PPI they said no revs over 3. Very strange.

According to Car & Driver 98mph is 7200 rpm in 3rd.

Regardless, here I am a little over a year later with a broken engine. Damned odd about those revs though!
On the bright side I did drive it top down from the Atlantic to the Pacific with my sweetie and spent some track time with it including a day at Laguna Seca. Made some killer memories in the first year!
