========================
I'm sure there is a rev limiter of else Mitsu wouldn't be able to offer
a warranty on 'em cuz we'd keep blowing them up.

My DOHC Neon also goes 250 rpm past redline before the rev limiter kicks
in at 7250 rpms.

Most cars will actually go a little past redline before the rev limiter
kicks in so you can "safely" run the motor to redline without fear of
bumping the rev limiter and bringing a rather abrupt halt to your fun.

Hope that helps.

See you on course.

You jump in front of my car  When you know all the time
That 90 miles an hour  Girl  Is the speed I drive
You tell me it's all right  You don't mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a drive
