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

My buddy's '96 Saturn SC2 does the same thing. He can hit 7k RPM if you just gas his auto. I was surprised that the little Saturn's twin cam 1.9L could rev that high.
