Actually my stock cross fire probably wouldn't have reached 5252. I think it red lined at like 4,500. Not kidding.

Not all vehicles spin to 5250, or even close, meaning it will never intersect. Diesels for one.

Posted before I saw your post. Yes, but failing to spin that high isnt a choice, some diesels would never spin that amount of RPM, ever. If they cant spin, it's not always 
What was the argument from minortiy report?

5252 is just where horsepower and torque will cross due to the math formula. You don't have to spin the engine to 5252 to get a horsepower figure. As Ben stated horsepower is a calculation of torque multiplied by rpm and divided by 5252. This article explains the formula.

But they absolutely would if they could.

Goes back to my minority report joke. Unless it happens, it cant be absolute
I agree with you whole heartedly though and I'm just being difficult for the means of entertainment.

Which is why I said consistently
P.S. Ben, consistent isn't dispositive of absolute, the inverse isn't true though. Yes... that's a quadruple negative, winning. Now start a semantic forum category so the three of us stop annoying everyone else.
And Guy, it's always a choice. Get rid of the rev limiter with a tuner and you can spin anything to 5250, even a NA diesel would get there eventually. Sooo suck a dick. Hahaha

Even if you removed the limiter many diesels wont spin that high and/or would break something before they got to 5250.
