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

You won't be able to redline 4th in an automatic. Sorry dude. In our cars the highest I got mine was like 4200-4400 RPMs, and that was going right around 115 on the speedo. Dunno about that Saturn, but AFAIK you cannot redline any automatic in its final gear.
