LAX300D Turbo,
Why would you want a 5000 pound car to rev to 6500 rpm if the intent is predominately drive on the highway.
Power is power ... 2000 rpm would be better than 6000 if one could pack enough power into those 2000 rpm ... problem in doing so is one of weight versus power output ...
I suppose someone could put in a very small V8, very small 6 (V or straight), V or straight 4, etc and get it to rev higher ... don't know why this would be better in any circumstance, except high output from small (read lightweight) engines used in racing circumstances.
I don't get it, sorry.
