dont know about ford f1s but yes i know they do go over 10,000rpms. or at least used to. i dunno about recently.
and less than half is definitly not true. my truck engine rdlines at 5000. truck engines are most of the time timed so it has more torque in the low end rather than pull high rpms. some cars go 7000,8000 on the street. a bit of modifications and higher.
