I've read so many horror stories about this topic. I accidentally did it today, 1st time ever. Should I be concerned? My car only has 2400 miles.


Thanks,

Jay

 

Ok - so you put it in the wrong gear?
You did step on the clutch right away, right?

 

Nope, my friend and I were switching off driving each others cars. He has a MY00 I have a MY04.
When I got back to driving my car, for some reason I still thought that I had 9000 rpm capability. I was on 2nd just kept stepping on the acelerator not looking at the tach, and bounced off red line, then I let off.

 

You bounced off the rev-limiter. No harm done. The computer wouldn't let you actually OVER-rev.

Now downshifting over-revving... there's no protection and you're screwed. But going up, not a problem.

 

Thanks! I feel much better

 

WHEW!!

you did not overrev my friend...u hit the rev-LIMITER.

I have done this MANY a times.

 

what is the fuel cut on the 2004 S2000???

I got mine up to 8500 I thiknk, before it bounced off the rev limiter...

Not too sure though..
