The “fix” is to drive more rationally methinks !

Exactly, Malc. The LS was never designed to be driven like a Golf GTI......these are classy ladies.   In my 26 years of LS ownership, I have never needed to use max revs. A gentle squeeze of the throttle, coupled with that wonderful V8, is more than sufficient.

Thanks guys.
But I must say the RPM needle bounces, even when driving as a grandpa (which I mostly do), but just not that bad. 😀
However, I love the V8 sound at 6k RPM.

I can ever barely hear the whisper of my V8 purr whatever the speed and revs ....... maybe it's my hearing is a bit defunct 🤣
