I'd say you're at your limit and it probably wouldn't hold where you are now if you raced it.

It depends completely on how you drive it. If you're easy on the clutch, it'll hold all kinds of power. If you start doing 7000 rpm dumps with slicks, it'll be crap. But the question is, why add all that power if you're not gonna use it?
