I'll stand by what i've read in the owners book "it CAN use up to" not it will. I'm sure driving style comes into it too and how hard you push them. Bouncing off the rev limiter in every gear well 1st-3rd and then pushing in 4th at 150 there is a lot of bluey white smoke pouring out the pipes on mine
Not the only one whos found out that 5th isnt selected until 150 then 😂

Dezzy's 8 doesn't have a 5th i'm an early PF so i'll not hit the rev limiter in 4th unless all 4 wheels leave the mac
