Why doesn't my car have a rev limiter?? Isn't that pretty bad? Is there a way to get one? I wanna be able to rev like other cars n hear the voooovvvvv....

 

....ummmmm

 

my thoughts exactly

 

i read it and was just like wtf??

My guess is his car is an auto.... and doesn't know what a rev limiter is??? that my best guess who knows

 

Ok sorry, I don't know a lo. let me try and explain. First, its manual not auto. If I put it in first and hold teh clutch n rev it, it goes to red line n tells me to shift...it doesn't stop me. Unles its a lil past redline where I was too scared to go?

^^^^

 

red line on our cars is 6800 so it is actually a little past the first red line which is at 6500

so the actual red line is the point where it becomes solid red



on another note, try not to rev that high anyway, its not the greatest for your car

 

Oh...ok. Thanks

 

no problem lol it was very vague at first so i didn't understand the question

 

yeah it cuts at 6800 and our rev limiter isn't good sounding

The only times I hit fuel cutoff it was so long before it let the engine rev again that I had shifted already, never heard that "zwe...zwe...zwe..." sound

 

Rev limiter is 6750

 

hey guys, i got an auto ss, i revved it before, then the traction control light would come on, then if i were to drive, it would HARD shift? pretty freaky and crazy to me lol. any ideas?

 

I swear i've seen 6800 on my logs

 

is the rev limiter just in neutral and with the clutch in because i have been higher than 6800 when racing and it hasnt cut out

 

uh no, it's in gears, that's when you need it

I mean it's plain stupid to rev the **** out of it in neutral or with the clutch in..

it's there for when you're too slow to shift and/or forget to do so!

 

its 6750

 

how do u guys get that "Shift light/fuel cut out light" to come up...and it is the light directly across from the fog's light correct?

cuz i redlined her in 1st till i hit the limiter..and i didnt get no light

 

it should only come on in gear, if you revved in neutral its not going to come on.

however it comes on at about 6500ish

 

i was in gear..i was in 1st..i floored it till i hit the limiter..no light

and is it bad to drive ur car under hard rpms..when i drive like a white boy i shift between 3-4K but when i like to enjoy the moeny i spent on my car..i usally do 6k in 1st lol

 

you have a manual right?

 

correct good sir

 

no idea then. i know the ss/sc's have had problems with their shift lights not working, but mine works fine. i have a 2006. I can even adjust when it comes on with hptuners

 

weird..ill have to redline my car more often to see if it works

 

ProjektCobalt your car is an 07 right? I have run in to this issue before, there is an 06 2.4 by me and hiw shift light works and can adjust it just like Beck. But mine has never lit up not even once and I have alterd the light in my tune and it still does not work. I think it was disabled in the 07's. :dunno:

 

it is infact a 07...so this could be..i will do tests with a 06 t omorrow..

 

Ya and the dealer would void your warranty on your car if they scan your computer and find over revs logged into the system... so if you race your **** and you have a warranty problem discounect your battery to erase the info logged into your system before you take into the dealer....
