Let’s say the rated hp is at 4800 rpm. The only time you approach rated power with this car is WOT at 4800 rpm at sealevel on a 60F day.  How long would you ever sustain that condition?

Al, How about 100mph for 20 minutes on the autoban?

According to a show I just saw on the History Channel, it is not uncommon for 'performance oriented' drivers to go 130+ mph on the autobahn.  They had an on board camera in an RUF (modified  Porsche) showing 212 mph.
