Default nearing rev limit

I was accelerating from a stop pretty quickly, and the road turned crummy so I wasn't paying any attention to the tachometer. I think I shifted short of the limit, but, would it have been pretty obvious if I had taken it up to or past redline?

Past redline very far and the engine would cut out. BTDT.

you'll see the readline flashing...I believe it flashes several times before it cuts the engine off.....

You should be able to HEAR 9,000 rpms lol but if you go over that the tach light blinks three times and then you bounce off the rev limiter.

Hitting the rev limiter doesn't go by unnoticed, believe me

You aren't an S2000 owner until you've bounced the rev limiter
