I know /o/ likes to dickride high revving little yappy bastard engines but is there any kind of consensus for what is "high revving?"
>>16213102
more than 7-8 thousand
>>16213102
8k+ for cars, 10k+ for motorcycles.
>>16213106

But /o/ drives almost exclusively stock cars- Your 90s Japanese sports car fare and damn near every single one I've looked at basically stops making power from around 5500 to 6500. Even a good little rotary, touted for being able to wrap to the moon pretty much stops making power around 6 grand. Kinda fucks with my head where they get off saying how great hard revving engines are to drive when what they do drive has dyno characteristics not dissimilar to that of a mild Chevrolet.
>>16213102
20k or get out
>>16213144
that dyno chart shows it still making power at 7000
stock rotaries arent the high revving buzzboxes its when theyre ported they become worth a shit
stuff like Honda performance engines redline at 8000 plus even a stock 4age from 30 years ago is like 77-7800 iirc

>rotary stops making power at 6000 rpm
Dude, the 13b renesis has maximum torque at 5500rpm and maximum power at 8200rpm.

Plateaus I should have said, but wrapping something harder when it'll make just about the same power or less is so much noise. And yeah the real badass Honda stuff like an S2000 really walks the dog, but I'm trying to get a frame of reference for where /o/ in particular gets off when they don't have a frame of reference- Everyone here doesn't drive an S2K, let alone probably even seen the inside of an engine.

That come in the RX8? I was pulling shit from the FC because that seemed most representative from what an average schlub around here would have and /o/ almost unanimously shits on the RX8.
>>16213178
but most of /o/ doesnt have what they want
around 8,000 is the high revving mark for me and my damn car makes peak power at 4,300
>>16213102
My Honda redlines at something like 18k.
But it's still lacking in power because 125cc.
>>16213187
RX8 is the cheapest and the most widely available rotary car you can buy nowadays though.
>>16213113
Go on motorcycle ride.
Most have peak power at 12k rpm. Everyone is shifting at like 4k
Say they want an liter bike because 600s are too slow...
Lol
