Hmmm don't tell me you haven't revved your car all the way to redline yet?

You are missing out on all the fun! For all the shortcomings of the NA engine (fuel consumption and lack of low end torque), the one nice thing about it is its free revving nature. You need to step on it a lot more otherwise you are making your engine wonder about it's existence
