Either way, I think it's a very cool car with a 7500 rpm redline and some run it as high as 8100... not sure if it's safe or not, but coming from 2 Evo's and an MS3 having a turbo is an AWESOME feeling, but having it fall on it's face before 7k sucks too lol.
that's just a function of the tiny stock turbos being terribly inefficient. My WRX does that too. There's no reason a turbo car can't run up well past 11k.
