Do you really think Lexus would let you destroy one of their engines for being an idiot? These engines have rev limiters built into them to prevent the unintentional redline (i.e. gear shifting into neutral under hard acceleration). However, that does not prevent anyone from being a moron such as driving on the highway in 1st gear. It is your call if you want to destroy a 40+ thousand dollar car.
Btw, one last comment..I've learned that NOT everything on the internet is TRUE

"I am an extremely learned person. I spend an extreme amount of time researching cars"
I think the point is that we all learn from others on this forum!
We dont go telling everyone how "extremely learned" we are!
It comes with maturity & maybe sometime you may want to listen instead of telling everyone how knowledgeable you are!

I'm not going to turn this into a flame fest.Oh, I also wanted to point out that I know you didn't write that torque vs. power article yourself. You stole it from http://www.modernracer.com/tips/torquevspower.html.

i gota question....
In a GX when you figure out a 0-60 time do you just floor untill you hit 60?
If so would redline that fast?
Is flooring the pedal in an auto the best way to go the fastest?
Thanks.
