After 9000rpm, the power falls off drastically.. After 9500 the engine is STRUGGLING to get to 10,000. Cool it can over rev for racing situations where you wont want to shift up gear and rev out the engine a lil bit before a corner or something.
yohannes kurniawan it's a piston engine not a rotary so it can't make the most power at the limiter they call it a 11k rpm because it probably can survive a miss shift till 11k rpm
I use to hate Hondas but it wasn't until recently when my car was totaled that I got a $800 1998 Honda civic dx. And I gotta say my whole opinion on them changed drastically.. Even tho it only has 106 HP and its stock and lacks a rpm tachometer. I've never had such fun with a car downshifting and letting the engine climb the rpms as I go. I intend on engine swapping it one day and just having as much fun with it as I can in the hills. (180,000+ miles)
It’s a beautiful thing when people realize there’s more to enjoying cars than straight line drags and horsepower. The handling dynamics, packaging, and everything else Honda nails is why a lot of people love them
Majesticturd -- agreed. Let's recap. Video / Spoon guy Claims 11,000rpm Driver revs to ALMOST 10k a few times. Car breaks and goes into Limp mode. Hmmmm. Lol. Epic hatchback nonetheless. Needs more power.
Kitchenattor 187 Seriously! This is so pointless but still cool. A pushrod V6 that revs to 5k makes more torque and has very little stress. Of course it's heavier and all, but why bother making an engine rev to a ridiculously high 11k? It's just going to wear out unless you don't care about it.
