i figured engines would be best place for this, i drove my brothers 97 saturn sc1 today and i floored it, (its an automatic) and when it got to the redline (5500) it kept on going to about 6k.... im puzzled i thoguht they were supposed stop at or before the redline, mine stops a few hundred rpm before. can anyone tell me if this is normal or not? thanks

In our celis you can floor it until redline, then it will shift- in park tho, you can rev it past the red.
My guess is that Saturn's automatic tranny's 1) Aren't very good or 2) Saturn just painted the redline way early to be "safe" with their crappy engines. |
