As of 2004, the S2000 redline is 8200 rpm, which would not make it the "highest production car redline" anymore. If 9000 rpm is indeed the highest redline in production, the Renesis would hold that title. |

"If 9000 rpm is indeed the highest redline in production, the Renesis would hold that title." - not true, 00-03 models had a the 2.0 liter f20c engine that produced 237 hp and 130 ft/lbs of torque, it DID have a 9k redline, but in 04 they stroked it to 2.2 liters calling it the f22c. The stroking lowered the redline to 8200 rpm, the new engine put out the same hp but had an additional 30 ft/lbs of torque pushing it to 160. The reason for the engine modification was that with the f20c you had to rev it to about 3k to get it moving anywhere, with the stroking came a broader powerband. - gman182 |

determining redline
Do manufacturers really destructively test engines to find the redline? Why don't they simulate or calculate the value? --Mikeblas 00:36, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'd imagine that experimentation with an actual engine would be easier and more accurate than trying to simulate or calculate the value. Auto manufacturers are willing to sacrifice entire vehicles for safety testing, so I imagine that they'd be willing to sacrifice a few engines to determine the redline accurately--Tabun1015 20:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
S2000 info
As of 2004, the S2000 redline is 8200 rpm, which would not make it the "highest production car redline" anymore. If 9000 rpm is indeed the highest redline in production, the Renesis would hold that title.
