Ha ha...I got it that high in neutral in my garage yesterday!
Is the 5000 RPM figure something that you got from somewhere or was that a number you came up with?

I love the sound of this motor. It has a Jetsons vibe. Sometimes I drop a gear to enjoy it. (Just like I do when I drive my Ferarri through tunnels & underpasses.)
LOL. You are right - this motor sounds really cool when the revs are up. Jetsons with a touch of cooling fan.
