The revlimiter is 7600 rpm, this is where fuel cutoff happens. When I look at the very s55 specs here on this site, peak power is at 7300 rpm and looking at the m3 tach, it is pretty obvious that the redline has to start much sooner if the revlimiter hits at 7600. Simply put, i do not wish to argue this, I just don't think you win this one. If the revlimit is 7600 rpm, redline has to be much sooner, I dont see how anyone could argue that.
Ah, no, not necessarily the case. At all.
