I can tell you that as a yard stick gets shorter it hurts more when you are hit with it.

So I took the Z out this morning. Decided to have a little fun with it. Launched it and got it up to 6-7k (Roughly). Within that range, the engine started making a rather audible ticking noise. The second I dipped the car below 5k, the sound dissipated. This was done in 2nd to 3rd gear. Didn't try raising RPM again past 3rd. Any ideas? Not seeing much on the forums for a high rpm ticking. Just low rpm.

Not really sure man. Will have to let someone more in tune with noise diagnosis than myself answer.
