This is kind of a silly question I guess, but I'm just curious if anybody actually knows what the redline is going to be set at for the ST
I've seen multiple pictures of the dash and it seems like the redline is different in almost each one. I realize these are all prototype units, so some differences are to be expected, but I didn't think the redline would be one of them.
What really got my attention is the pic that Tanner Foust posted on Facebook during the Key West event.
It looks like the redline is at 6,000.
On Fords website the dash pic shows the redline closer to 6,500 or maybe even higher.
Not a huge deal, but when I saw Tanner's pic of it showing a 6,000 RPM redline, I was really surprised.
I know the torque is all down low, and the horsepower peak is at 5,500, so it probably doesn't really need to rev higher than about 6,000. Just most sporty cars I've been in rev higher. I'm used my old Focus SVT with a 7,200 RPM redline. Heck, even the big family 4-door sedan I drive now has a redline of 6,800.
Like I said, kinda silly... It doesn't really matter, I'm still buying the car!!
