Chris Wilson Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 A few years ago 8000 RPM was the preserve of exotic road car engines and race power plants. Now it's common place. But when you see a rev' counter that is designed for something that really turns high numbers it looks, well, a bit feeble http://www.racecarsdirect.com/listing/31743/SPA_Tacho_Revcounter.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Do many race cars rev that high? perfect for anything with a motorbike engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraHuman Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Looks like 8k on idle, perfect for a F1 car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I used to own a GSXR250 many years ago, that revved to 20k or something ridiculous. But you know what they say, revs=power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I always think it's funny the wifes Corolla out revs my Supe, as it redlines at over 8k. Shame you have to drive it that hard to get it to go:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I used to own a GSXR250 many years ago, that revved to 20k or something ridiculous. But you know what they say, revs=power Most of those 250 four strokers were absolute screamers. Just jump on and wring it's neck, perfect for when you were in one of those moods. I tried to stencil a Kawasaki logo on my girlfriends back the other night. She was having none of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
