awesome ,i was thinking along these lines i just wanted to hear what you guys believe it could be ..... its only at high rpm so aslong as i drive like an old lady i should be fine right ??? could this be a serious problem where i shouldnt drive the car till its solved??

well it defiantly sounds ignition related, and yea its fine to drive just keep it out of the upper rpm range untill you get some new stuff, if those parts i listed dont fix it you might look inot getting a new coil/ignitor
