Yeah.. Like at 11,500 RPM or so... Of course, you
need a special transmission (Like from Golf A1
GT), camshaft, and crankshaft.. But it'll do the
work.. (60mi at 1st??.. I swear I saw it from
Inside a friend's Jetta).. BTW, the engine sounds
very funny..Like an F1.

Otherwise, 6,200 is just safe...
