"So long as the engine is in good tune and overall good shape, and your oil & coolant levels are good, you can bounce off the Rev Limiter all day."

This was the one statement that I addressed. I think you made it.

My assertion is, if you "bounce off the Rev Limiter all day long" you are shortening your engine life.

I stand by that statement and I think any prudent, knowledgable person would.

Here is a test:

Next time you try to sell a car, tell the prospective buyer that you "bounce off the rev limiter all day long."

Tell him its OK though as you keep the oil clean and topped off and the coolant too!

See how many prospects end up walking away.

Off course, infrequent trips to Red Line are fine and I never said otherwise.

Keep bouncing the limiter if you want. Simply don't delude yourself that this is a cost free strategy.

As I indicated in one of my post, this issue was addressed in Panorama by the tech guy there. I think the article backs up my statements.

No one is attacking you, I simply think your assertion is not supported by fact.
