NO NO NO The car Bobs as you said it, but I just realized tonight (a few
minutes ago) I was driving after it warmed up, I took it to 60MPH in 2nd.
Yes it will hit >7000RPMS.
Let me try and explain, The car hits ~6200 and the power drops off. As a
knee jerk reaction (espiucally after spending $494 on the car) I let off the
gas. If I hold the pedal down it goes to 7000RPMS. Still this is strange and
I know I didn't imagine it. My dash light dim a little at ~7000RPMS and I
heard oit backfire a little once. I have a crappy midaz muffler on the car
with TT racing downpipe ahead if that. I'll probobly get TT exhaust once I
recover from my reapir bills.
I feel sooooo Stupid.

I can.

Maybe a tune up is in order too, Still with this little problem the car runs
awesome.
