Searched but couldn't find the maximum engine speed for the '07. Anyone know for certain the answer, and have a source?? Thanks.

I believe it's 6600 or so, this is based off a dyno sheet from a stock 07 auto. There is 1 member w/ an 07 that has bounced off the limiter a few times... dont remember his username. I have taken my car up to 6500 a few times but never passed that point.

6,500 in your car, eh? Anyone else confirm max permissible engine speed before cut?

mine's an '06 5-speed... i've been to 6500... it gets alittle shaky after that so i don't do that too often

My 05 will only go to 6300

6300 sounds about right for 05-06.

the 07 will rev up to 6500 before the rev limiter hits. and it also "hits" differently than the prior years. it doesn't bounce quite like the rest i think it's a fuel cut instead of spark or something. it's somehow different not sure how but it is. the higher rev limit i believe should make the 07 a LITTLE quicker, you can rev each gear out a little further and also when you shift into the next gear you're at a higher rpms which should put you further in the peak powerband of the engine.

for example, i know for a fact the 07 can do 84-85mph in 3rd and people with 05-06's are saying it's impossible.

I dont know about that. I can do about that in 3rd. Ill let you know this afternoon when I get out of class.

I think the 05's are closer to 81-82 before you bounce off the limiter in 3rd.

the manual says 77 is the max on 3rd

emiller

redline is around 6200 and the limiter is higher at around 6500.

i've gone to 8000rpms by misshifting.. dont get a short shifter if that's too short...
