Something that doesn't get a lot of love in the U.S...the Toyota/Lexus 1uzfe. 4.0 V8, DOHC, 6200 redline(6500 for the VVTI version). Not a power house by any means, but torquey as a V8 should be and a lot of fun in my 95 SC400 project car. Sadly, the V8 SCs only came with automatics, but manual conversions exist and I'm planning on one. With a straight through exhaust, this thing sounds really, really good, and lowered on coilovers and poly suspension bushings has made the Luxo coupe a real driver.

Hard to beat the sound of old school fury. Here is one seriously angry Ford.

My 2013 Boss 302 had the redline set at 7900rpm and had no problem making power at that speed.
I see that no one has mentioned the Miata. The later NC models will rev out to 7500rpm before fuel cut. |

Just curious - did you need to make any hardware changes along with raising the rev limiter, or was my friend misinformed with a bunch of hogwash? Thanks |

You don’t really know of it was “making power” unless you dynoed it. My 2.0 would happily rev above 7, it seemed fast cuz I was going fast, but it wasn’t producing it’s peak hp and especially not torque. Fun and loud, but not really accomplished anything.

You know that engineer was pulling your leg about that computer not being able to keep up, right?
The 1987 5.0 Mustang GT was advertised as having an ECU that was more powerful than the computer used to go to the moon in 1969. The EEC-IV, as it was called, is capable of performing a million calculations a second while running at a measly (by today's standards) 15mhz. This 22 year old EEC-IV was used in Formula 1 at the time. High rpm's were not a problem. And that ECU is an antique by today's standards.

My Rx-8 was fun, miss the handling and high revving nature. But it needed more power for sure, even with a turbo it needed much more but the engines are just shit reliability wise.

My dad's ND was dead reliable. He might have had the only one. For the street, the sequential turbo thing was pretty ideal. Provided it wasn't hot out. Or raining. Or too humid. Or too dry.
