First let me say that some of the dyno test descriptions I've heard make
me shudder... I'd get nervous lending my car to a friend, why would I
want some bored mechanic winding it out for some crummy state test.

But second, your Audi should scream happily all the way up to the rev
limiter on a regular basis... Don't know if I have one (probably not)
but I hit 6300-6400 rpms regularly.  Why not?
