Red Line Question?

[kaval]

My srt-10 has finally broken in and it's time to mash the gas.

Is there a fuel-cut or some other safety feature at 6000 rpm?

thanx Dan.

... and yes there is a fuel cut-off. Best advice I have the first time you want to hammer it, is to go find a secluded road , go up to about 40mph in second and let her rock. Don't worry about wasting your time speed shifting and ripping your arm out it's socket, just get a good feel of the 525 ft. lbs of torque and the way this baby pulls. Don't take a passenger, as the smile on your face could be broad enough to knock them out of their seat.

Thanx...

Cuz last night... while going sideways... It sorta felt like a fuel cut but I

wasn't completely sure... So did I break my new car? Or is it

O.K.

thanx.

Your car is going to be fine, but going sideways drifting ) with this car is usually not recommended. Get some seat time and consider a driving/racing school like Viper Days ( www.viperdays.com ) or www.racingschools.com. Snakes are a riot but they can strike back when you least expect it. Have fun but be careful.
