Is it true that the rev-limiter is higher in 3rd gear upwards on the F355? Its just I heard that someone had one that revved up to nearly 10,000rpm in 3rd, but only ever 8,500rpm in 1st and 2nd?

Is it a standard thing, or is this something that has been changed after-market?

What would the top speed be at 10,000 in 6th?

That V8 engine + 10,000 rpm = scrap metal. Lots of things go wonky over 9,000rpm due to the design....

Smells like BS to me.

Well mine was owned by his old rival, Damon Hill, so maybe it'll work too!
