Reving =/= Red-lining
EDIT:
I took my Z out tonight for a little drive to push it past 5k RPM for the first time ever. I almost hit 6k RPM in 3rd gear before shifting to 4th, and it definitely didn't feel smooth RPM'ing that high. Obviously the cars I've driven before weren't sports cars, but the difference between RPM'ing at 3k and 5k in my Scion tC was the sound...the car didn't feel any different. My 6k RPM felt "abrasive" on the throttle and didn't sound as pretty as 4k does. Is that normal? Very noob question, I know...first time I've ever gone over 5k RPM in ANY car.
