I believe 4AGE 20V and BEAMS 3S-GE revved up to 8000 rpm stock.

FYI, 3S-GE BEAMS Dual VVT-i "Black Top" makes 210HP @ 7600 RPM. That equates to 105HP/L *and* it makes peak power below 8000 RPM.

True the optimum rev curve is usually up to where the peak HP is, but personally on dynos of my car show the power does not die off after that, It still makes good torque up to 8400 rpm. It is best to shift as close to redline as possible. It also ensure, you can land at as high rpms as possible in the next gear, which is crucial for a high revving car that needs to be kept screaming. The 2002 Celica GTS with 7800 rpm limit was slower than the 2000, 2001 Celica GTS with 8400 rpm limit.

The new Lexus LF-A will be Toyota's next high-revving car. It will probably rev up to 9000 rpm.

Your car; you sure you aren't mixing things up? I thought you had a 2ZZ-GE, not a 3S-GE .

And yes, the LF-A V10 engine will be Toyota's next high revving engine, and it will be the highest revving production Toyota engine in history. Rumours say it will rev to at least 9000 RPM or possibly beyond 9000 RPM. We're talking extensive use of F1 technology here .

Yep I am very excited to see the LF-A. It sounds gorgeous and is a powerhouse around the race track.

Can't wait to see all the shocked reactions when engine specs are revealed, and likely I will be one of those shocked people .

this doesn't make any sense, it takes 4.9 sec for a 500hp car to do 0-60? ...

underated is a good thing . Lexus claims the IS350 run 14.1 in the 1/4 mile, everyone knows that the IS350 is much faster than that in reality.

I never refuted that, but that is not where they made their peak power.

ANYWHERE on this board.

I grew up around these motors, I know what they are made of, what they are capable of and what they did stock. Official specs are easily found in their workshop manuals and on the internet as well, so you could have taken the time to check before you stick your foot in your mouth.

Definately on the LF-A. Not on the IS-F.

Someone may have cross-referenced the wrong numbers...

Yes, he did get the wrong numbers- it's actually 5,000HP!

Don't blame me, it's just what my dealer sent me. I kinda trust him, cause this dealer is realy attending all events all across europe and talks to all japanese people there.

I believe its maybe misspelled number, but deep inside me I WANT to believe it is TRUE!

Mr F1, please read our sense of community post and temper your responses in the future.

I'm just guessing here, but I also believe the member you attacked was referring to the original poster, not you.
