Do you mean the stock DOHC tach?

I put myself and others into a risky situation, and could've resulted in a grave outcome. Putting yourself in danger is one thing. I don't really care much about that - but when you jeopardize the well-being of others, you're in the wrong. That happens any time you drive recklessly on public roads. People frequently don't grasp the gravity of the responsibility of driving a car and how one error can lead to a lifetime of pain or death. So far, I've been lucky. I've been in one crash, and it's been on a closed circuit - completely my fault (overconfidence), and I never put anyone into danger that wasn't doing what I was doing.
I know 240s can go fast, but it's dangerous to others to do so, and not worth the brief thrill associated with it.

The original purpose of this post (I don't think anyone caught it except R240NA) was to findout my shift speeds were. As far as driving fast, We were out in the country were there was nothing but farmland. It was also an older crowd, so no inexperienced teenagers driving fast. But, I agree it only take one fatal crash to ruin someones life.
