rev limit
what is the best reccomended number of revs to switch when racing someone? i have a stock 1.6 SOCH LX, 12 years old, i dont know to how much rpms she goes, once i came to 6000-6200 and didnt have guts to go on. how much are the chances to blow the engine? 10% - 15% still dont drive her (dont have a licence yet 
does anybody knows whats the rev limit for those engines?

semtex - the only reason i'm even posting is b/c of your signature is greart. haha.
i havent had had much experience w/driving a stick, and the experiences i did have i wasnt racing.
i'm guessing your car doesnt have a tach. so just go with the sound of the engine and how it feels. when the engine noise starts to even out and/or you begin to lose acceleration.

Are you guys serious? Why the hell would you want to rev it over 6K? There should be a rev limiter to stop you from over reving the engine. Unless you want to see holes in the side of your engine from throwing a rod, then I wouldn't suggest anything more than 6500. You will loose power above 6K anyway.
