lol, it's not going to just go straight from 160 hp to 0 after it's peak rpm. Bsi, ignoring the fact that ludeykrus doesn't have a normal H23, yeah, I'm sure you'll probably get a few mph, but what's to stop you from just driving past redline?
dont do it youll probly blow a rod. the internals in that car werent made to over rev nomatter what anyone says!!!! over rev can cause major detonation!!! trust me two of my friends blew thier motors doing the same thing.. not worth it if you ask me, plus that is jail time to get caught and no more car!!!

no, but the regular police will catch him. hes talkin about speed, not rpm. if hes trying to raise his top speed by uping the rpm, hes gonna go past 135 mph, and you can bet hes gonna loose his car and get jail time for that.

Why do you need to go above 130?
and why do we have to go from 0-60mph in 4 secs? we dont NEED to, but it sure would be fun!

and going 130 or 125 won't? Speeding is illegal no matter how fast you go, it just get's worse (assuming you get caught ) the faster you go. I don't think there's a considerable penalty that's enforced if you go over 130 as opposed to 120 or 130. Plus, they're not going to physically check his car against specs they don't even have to see if he raised the redline, so either way, he either has or intends to speed, nothing's going to change that.

why drive a non-hybrid car, or a car that has 2 non-functional seats .... personal preference.
if a cop clocks someone going over 135... the chances are good the person is going to get away, cause the cop is going 0! I got away once on the highway going only 120, didnt see the cop till i was right next to him, so i just accelerated, and got off like 3 exits later
Originally posted by ludevtec this is just dumb. HMMM let me raise the speed of my car by screwing up a perfectly good motor the easy way
yeah, I second that. I mean, riding it up to or just past the redline before shifting is one thing, but sustaining an engine speed past redline can't be good for the engine. What's 5 or 10 extra mph anyway? Btw Whitea, you are right about that, my friend's dad has a yamaha R1 and he's told us a couple of times about he and his buddies going for a late night spin on the highway at nutty speeds like that, and a cop in the median will turn his lights on, but then turn them off after the bikes pass 'cause he realizes it's hopeless. On the other hand though, the speed trapping cop could simply ahead for help, so it's really not wise to go that fast anyway, but I'm guilty of trying.

i dont know what your talking about. speed is illegal, but going a lot faster makes it much worse. especially 135. you made it sound like he was afraid of raising his rpm because of the "rpm police". im simply saying, thats not what he meant, he was talking about going over the normal top speed of 135 and getting caught not that his rpms are too high and the cop might stop him for going into redline. the higher the speed your going, the more severe.
i heard of that too. people dont get caught speeding at like 130 but they will get caught going 90 cuz the cop cant catch up to 130. but they will radio for help in the direction your going. im just too scared either way to go that fast because i wanna keep my car ill test my car a track one day...

but if he was going to be going 125, or 130 (if he could manage it), it's basically just as bad, the extra 5 mph won't make that much of a difference, the cop's not going to say "well, if you were going 120 in the 65, I'd do such and such, BUT, because you were going 130, it's a whole different story". In MI, 20+ over gets you reckless driving, and they can cut your license up on the spot for it, so going 120, or hell, even 110, compared to over 130, you're going to at least get a helluva ticket. I don't believe any state has a "over 130" clause that makes the offense particulary special, so I'm saying (again), is that it won't matter if he raises his redline to go faster, becuase if he's gotten as fast as his car will go now, he's already taking a chance, zexy said it was jail time if he got caught, I'm saying, what difference does it make, 120, 130, whatever, I'm sure the potential to get locked up bad regardless, as long as they catch you.

yep, i completely agree with you. this is getting to out of proportion. its this simple. you said "who's going to catch him, the rpm police?" and i said "hes not refering to his rpm, hes referring to his speed". Thats all im talking about. you just took his comment the wrong way. but ill need zexylude to make that call. OR just forget i even said anything...
im surprised cops didnt find a way to stop people going 130 on a highway. such as have two cops set up on a highway 1-2 miles apart from each other, and when the first guy sees the guy going 130, the second guy farther down starts driving to be up to speed with that guy and stop him. so many different ways to get caught. im just too nervous for that stuff...

maybe i did take his comment the wrong way, but it was flawed to begin with. The question itself was a humorous one, he can get arrested and have his car taken away without raising his redline, so, in essence, the only additional thing he'd have to worry about after raising it would be getting caught by the rpm police, which, of course, don't exist. Ahh whatever, no big deal. Has bsi even replied, lol?
I don't understand why people buy all these mods and then not use them at oppurtuned times. you know what? I speed, I drive faster then **** on a empty freeway, or high way. I don't spend thousands of dollars on mods, like some of you people to make your car go faster, and then b!tch at somebody when they actually want to try a different mod to go faster, whether it will work or not. I don't buy mods just to say I have them, or for looks. a sports car is ment to be driven.
I'm not saying drive crazy in rush hour, or on streets. But you can't tell me that when your all alone on a highway with no on ramps,and clear visibility, you don't open it up.
Anyway back on topic,
When your hitting the quarter, it doesn't hurt the engine to take it a little higher, a little, because it's short term, but taking your motor over redline trying to top it out, that could take a while, and your motor spining that much harder for that much longer is not good and would probably cause a problem, maybe not even right away but it will more than likely happen. I shift at 8 to 8200 on my h22, but it's only when I'm at the track, and there are other benefits to doing that, even though your not making any more power up there, so no need to repeat that again.
One more thing, I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but a majority of this board is about performance, and it's frustrating to get judged by other people on this board, when you want to get and use more.

I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon or act like I've said everything you just said, but amen. Lol, I open it up every time I get onto the highway, it's perhaps the only thrill I get to experience day to day, and as sad as that may be, I enjoy the hell out of it. I too, don't understand why people would spend a lot of money on their car and not drive the $hit out of it. But I will maintain that it's probably not a good idea to drive at or above redline for a sustained period of time.
