This is a vid from the french section. The tach looks like it goes up to 7 grand? Is it a gasser converted to the w signal?

That doesn't sound like 5K. My car sounds like its gonna come apart and according to my calculations i'm only turnin 4100rpm @ 60mph in third
if the spedometer is working correctly i'd say the tach is right on... damn thats one fast car.
creepy music though... i pictured some dude walking out with a cape ready to do battle with some honda guy... then race him and pwn him. :lol:
Im not about to tell you to over rev your VW, but heres a pic of my old diesel maxed out in 4th gear.
Did the needle peg out there and get stopped, or did the engine climb past that point?
I find it concerning that you were traveling that fast and were able to take the time away from driving to take that picture :shock:

It just wouldn't go any higher :lol:

Thats nothing I'll have to get you a picture of my jetta with the tach wrapped past 5500rpm and the speedo wrapped past 200 :twisted:
I won't take the picture though.
So no one has experienced any damage to the actual tach from pushing the rpm's past the stop?
