Baby it, it will punish you, let it enjoy the road.

Hi,

I could not disagree more. First, the famed Autobahn has only a few stretches where you can now run without limit. Purely 85% of it is now regulated to 75MPH or less.

It isn't about whether you're bouncing off the Rev Limiter, it's about whether you're respecting the machinery. Keep it in the sweet spot and it'll last forever - that's not the same thing as punishing it or running consistently at 6k RPM or above...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

The last I checked there was still about 4000 of 6800 miles of Autobahns without speed limits. I will admit the data may be dated.

Is anyone from Germany on this board?
