Interesting thread, years ago I had a '68 Fiat 124 Spyder with a 1438cc
engine. Slowing down on a highway one day I accidently shifted from
5th to 2nd at about 80 MPH. The red line was 6,800 RPM - the tach went
way past that 'till the needle hit the pin somewhere around 8K RPM.
The I hit the clutch and crossed my fingers. That engine was fine and lasted
over 100K miles - too bad the body didn't last as long.
