i didn't buy the Z to cruise on low RPMs... I bought it to ride the hell out of it... isn't that what a "sports car" should be used for??? isn't the engine made for that type of driving?

Just go ahead a reach the fuel cut-off everytime you shift. It is more fun!

Ever see Blue Brothers? It's cool when the pistons shoot through the hood.

Actually, I have been wanting to post a question to this Forum about something I thought I heard about the 370Z engine, and this seems like a good time to do it.

It has been my understanding that there is a built in "cut-off" that prevents us from blowing the engine by revving the engine too high, and if we get a certain type of "tune up", that feature will be no longer effective.

With the effortless and rapid speed that this engine will rev past red line, it is an all too easy thing to do, even among the most conscientious of us.

Can anyone confirm - explain this?
