true, but if you listen to the engine/exhaust note you'll know when that is coming up. in first gear my trd muffler opens up nicely around 5500 rpm and i know to shift shortly thereafter or i bounce off the rev limiter......

ya, i find with an intake it has a nice rasp (akin to the one before lift in an xrs) just before the redline....

but stock stock you'd be hard pressed listening...

Sorry....but I mean, let's be realistic. This car doesn't have any power.

My John Deere lawn tractor has 25% of the HP this car has stock.

Whether you like what he says or not you have to admit that unless you put in some serious mod money the car is a small economical gutless commuter car that will get smoked by just about everything else on the road,its main forte is mpg not mph.
