At this point, either you're bogged down in 4th trying to merge onto the highway or your doing doughnuts in a parking lot. I can't say I've checked exactly, but I guess I can get to 40MPH in second without hitting the rev limiter. Two weeks into the break in you are probably keeping it under 4k, so you may be right under that constraint.

My car is only two weeks old 375mi; so I'm not trying to hit 7,000 rpm, and even after break in I'd rather not run it that hard if I had a choice. Just my driving style I would guess.
After reading through these post I guess I do drive a little on the conservative side. Well will see after break in and t hen push it. For now I keep it around 3500RPM for shifting. :-)
