I hit my limiter few nights back. I'm used to the honda limiter, where they almost breaks your neck and it was sorta odd on EVO.

I was following a M5, right on its tail (of course, not racing, just following and obeying speed limit, yada yada..) and I went over to 7500 RPM.

The thing just whined and made a funny sorta sounds like something squeeking or something odd (I can't describe it).

I didn't really feel the fuel cutoff or anything.

Have you guys done this yet? I was on 2nd gear when that happened.



ps. I kept up with that M5 all the way. And I had no launch and I let him have a car length ahead of me.

 

i do it all the time and mine redlines at 8000 no biggie

 

what happens when you redline. Does it cutoff pretty fast?

 

Yep - pulls the fuel.

 

I'm cutting at 7800. We hit the rev limiter all the time on the dyno, nothing to worry about. That's what it is there for!

 

sweet. I was just concerned, since it didn't cutoff rapidly.

 

Sounds like your tach is more accurate than the other guys

 

I hit my rev limiter last summer in 1st and 2nd. I was next to a Trans Am and my window was even with the back of his car. It was so loud that I couldn't hear or feel my own car and I hit the fuel cutoff. Twice. It's an odd feeling because the car just dies.
