The rev limiter's around 6250.

[ov3n]

6750

6950. Peak power falls off around 6200 though, so if you're at the drag strip its probably better to shift around there instead of taking it all the way to redline.

ok thnx peoplez

Doesn't really matter, the car knows where it is. You'll bounce the rev limiter when you hit it, and you'll definitely know it. :evil:

whats u mean? ill blow off my engine :rofl:

[Moraki]

No your engine WONT let you hit the actual red line. The rev limiter will kick in and your RPMs will start to fall no matter what you do.

[carajo]

Everyone who's bounced off the rev limiter, raise your hand!

:wave: :evil:

[ov3n]

you'll blow it off? like itll fall off the car?

[BigBalledOX]

My rev limiter is at 7200 RPM . . . which is also where my red line is. :evil:

I've lost track of how many times I've hit the rev limiter.

[Pyro81]

Never once hit the rev limiter.
But then again that happens when you drive an ATX...

[LostRacer]

I just wait for the boom. :flushed:

[scrupul0us]

car hits rev limiter and limits fuel flow to engine... your RPMS fall... you slow down -or- shift and then you move on

got it?

Same here! :tongue:

They don't exactly "start to fall"... it just bounces off it.

I hit that thing all the time :banghead:

Heh, you should of drove Aaron's (JAMallot) old I4 ATX coug. It felt like your about to bounce of the rev limiter because it runs so long before it finally shifts.
