I drive a full race fiat x 1/9 as a daily driver. 14,000 rpm redline, I
shift it at 9,000 to 10,000 rpm all the time, 13k on the track. cross
drilled rotors and brembo brakes < if you can't stop it, just shoot
yourself in the head, the result will be the same if ya get behind the
wheel) ..... at 2000 miles ALL my new engines get duralubed or slick 50'ed
... and fiat engines are touchy, cranky, interference engines with cam over
shim over bucket valve trains.. and the transmissions suck.

motors got 80,000 _VERY_ hard miles on it, and still has all the balls it
did at 5,000 miles, and the tranny has lasted 20,000 MORE than any other
one i've owned.

good enough for me.
