Reply to "Not mine - but I wish it was!"

According to an explanation of the shaded areas I read on the 356 Register last night 7500 is “redline,” power band is 6,000-7,500, and usable power is 4,000<.

I read somewhere (here?) that under revving the 4 camers was harder on them than winding them out.

Funny thing, that’s almost exactly like my dad’s Fiat 850 Coupe. Nothing below 3600, 4K-7.5K it was a little screamer.

I know it’s apples and oranges to compare our (mostly) Brazilian repro gauges and plethora of engines to engine matched OEM Porsche tachs, but I’ve never run my motor into the red shaded area, but it’s not because it seems to be running out of grunt. In fact, compared to my Ducati engine, it feels like it’s got another K in it, easy. (Although I doubt I’ll ever tempt it.)
