I have the same redline, but a tighter gear ratio. Around 6400 is fuel cutoff. That's some of the reason behind the head build .... stretch out all the gears.

2nd gen MDX vs. 3rd gen MDX = 2nd gen FTW! I drove around an '08 MDX for a while when our navi was getting replaced. They're nice but the styling is weird... it's not as friendly as our 04. Best part was the slap stick tiptronic transmission, sucker went 80 in 2ng gear

Big waste? Yes. Fun? Yes! I think tiptronic is pointless across the line... the only way I'm a going to be shifting without a clutch pedal is paddle shifters and a sequential manual gearbox.

On the mini-formula car that my buddy has from school, the clutch is a hand lever behind the steering wheel. Good thing that you don't need it for gear changes! Also, that doesn't have reverse ..... CBR 600RR powertrain

Back on topic, I would find used models at nearby dealers and test drive them. I still think your best bet is the MDX for reliability and luxury. GM even liked the engine so much they rebadged them L66 and put them in the Saturn VUE.
