Probably not but I don't usually hit 6k rpm too often. It seems worse because you are outside the car, bonnet open and you can hear the engine screaming its arse off, and then theres the cooling issues. Just fans, no air passing through like on the road.

To recreate road air flow you need huge fans. Alot of places with rolling roads have no where near big/powerful enough fans.

Didnt the rings go or something? It either didnt even make it to the rollers, or it died shortly after?!
