Actually, if you hit the rev-limiter your warranty can be voided. The ECU has a counter for each time that the rev limiter is hit. It also has a multiplier based on what gear you're in. E.g., if you're in 4th gear and you hit the rev-limiter, then that counter is incremented 4 times. If you're in 3rd gear and you hit the rev limiter twice, then the counter gets incremented 6 times (3x2). If the counter value is greater than 2, then the dealer will not honor your warranty.

Fortunately, there is a bug in the ECU software. If you hit the rev limiter in Reverse, the counter will actually be decremented. So, if you hit the rev-limiter in 2nd gear, then that means that you need to take the car out (preferably to a big, open parking lot) and stick it in reverse and take her all the way up to 9K RPMs. You'll need to do that twice to get the counter back from 2 to zero. Be careful, because going 35-40mph in Reverse can get tricky.

















I take no responsibility for any fool that actually goes out and actually tries this.

that is some of the most beautifully sculpted bullshit I've seen in a while. and while it may be artistic... in the end, it's just b.s.
