Hit the limiter today its set at 6500, i have never done this before hopefully i didnt ruin anything... when i hit it felt like gas shut down....

 

You are probably OK - I hit mine on occaison as well and it's been increased via the DPG tune.....can't remember where it is....6,750....

 

you hit it at 6700 Wow!!! I got scared when i hit mine cause the gas sh
ut down,

 

I hit mine passing on a narrow lane today. I think it is set at around 7k with my diablo tuner. Forgot to shift in time, thought I needed the extra push in second to pass. Scared the hello out of me. But was going fast enough to coast around the other guy.

 

I have mine set at 7k, and have hit it "several" times

 

I just thought of a cool t-shirt: "Official Member of the Rev Limiter Club"

 

its a scarey sinking feeling - freaked me out the first time I hit it.. thought I had really blown it.
in 2nd gear you can hit the 6200 rpm limit pretty fast, but the rev limiter is there to stop you doing damage to the motor and its set low with a considerable cushion.
You wont have any problems. Even so - I now watch my rpms closely in second to make sure I dont do it again.

 

Well said.

 

I did that once when I had my Cobra and I thought for sure I just blew the motor. I had never come close to that happening before and i was trying to get onto the freeway and was running out of on ramp when it happened. The turd in the right lane never gave me a chance to get on and had the nerve to give me a dirty look when I squeaked in front of him.

 

I've hit mine in 2nd once too. My son was like, "Dad - did you kill it?"

At first I did get nervous, but realized within a few seconds what I had done. I've come close since, but watch it and shift just in time.

It sure is fun to jump on it though!!!

 

Not gonna hurt anything hitting the rev limiter unless you have it set too high. That's what it's there for, to stop damage.

 

First time I hit it was the second day I had the car. I was a little slower than the lightning acceleration in first gear. Second time I was too busy sliding it around a corner, and just forgot to shift.

 

I hit mine during my first race this weekend. It got me at first, then I realized I needed to shift REAL quick. I put her in 2nd, and still won the race.

 

No, the car is broken now, but I'll take it off you hands for cheap, just give me a call.

 

I have hit mine so many times i have lost count .less than a 1000 miles on car. If you never hit it you are not driving hard enough,

 

yeah hit mine today on the motorway trying to show off while passing a goofy little british car thing. Scared the hello out of me and him!!

 

That's what its there for, just don't sit against it. I have hit mine a bunch of times. The tach on this car IMO could be a lot better.
