>Im not sure who, but someone made the comment that triumphs were meant
to be driven at the Red-Line. Is this just one persons opinion or are
their other listers out there, in agreement. I have never driven my TR6
, any where near the red-line mark, out of fear of hurting the car, but
would really like to! Thanks.

Why? The power peaks well below redline and the torque peaks below that.
But the answer is that the red line is the masimum safe speed. Driving
upto redline will not cause the engine to break (although exceeding redline
may) but engine wear will be more severe at the higher speeds. On the
other hand, one reason we own Triumphs is because we like overhauling
engines.
