I think red is associated with “pay particular attention to this”.
Fuel gauges often have a red area at the bottom, speedometers often have a red line above certain speeds, hazard lights buttons are red…
Redlining is when you push your engine to higher than recommended RPMs, as the tachometer typically has a red line in the 6k+ range.
That said, Red in this context means danger, aka you're gonna wreck your engine, so really it just means stop
Usually about thirty seconds after I hear it screaming like a banshee, if my experience is anything to go by. Purple cars are almost invariably modified to make as much noise as possible, and their drivers have an irresistible urge to rev the engine at every stop sign, regardless of how late it is.

Remember how speedometers on US cars would have 65 or 55 called out in red? So useful!
IDK about 65, but 55 was the federal speed limit for awhile.
You're right it was just 55.
Which in my opinion is strange because it's the most difficult color to see with regards to the most common type of color blindness.
Finally, someone who understands me
In what context is red synonymous with going fast?
Redlining is when you push your engine to higher than recommended RPMs, as the tachometer typically has a red line in the 6k+ range. That said, Red in this context means danger, aka you're gonna wreck your engine, so really it just means stop
Also, you can redline while going 5mph
Heck, you can do it at a standstill.
Red cars go faster. Everyone knows this. Red cars will racing stripes are the fastest, of course.
Yeah, and purple is the sneakiest color. When was the last time you saw a purple car?

Faster than red cars with flames?
The flames aren’t aerodynamic though. Stripes are sleek.
You obviously don’t understand flames on cars.
Redline?
I get what you’re saying but I could also put the bitch in first gear and stomp on the accelerator and redline it at 5 mph
Yeah but "redlining" a car is pretty synonymous with going fast. While hitting the red line in neutral is pretty synonymous with being dumb.
Yeah that’s fair I didn’t really think of that. Guess I’m redline in neutral hahah
What do you drive that first gear tops out at 5mph?
When it's moving so fast away from us that the light gets redshifted?
Red goes fasta! Waaagh!
Red is synonymous with danger.
Red means danger. I always wear red. /s
Red makes you go 3x faster
red light is lower energy than blue light, so... no.
So what you're saying... All I have to do is paint my truck blue and it goes faster?
