Only 4.5-5k? I take mine up over 6, sometimes 7k.



I'm having a hard time believing you ... my ATX won't let me go past 6K and rarely past 5. Maybe your tach is incorrect ... but knowing you (in both mods/knowledge and driving style), it's more likely my foot's just lighter.




My '96 ATX V6 shifts at 6250. And I've always wondered what that whine/ringy sound was. I noticed it on my '95 Zetec and my '96 V6 both. But it's nonexistant on my dad's '01 Sable with the "good" 3.0. Anybody know why? I find it really annoying, so i treasure every moment i spend with the Sable floored. Which isn't often, seeing as how I'm specifically not insured on it.
