It's the cold rev-limiter, designed to prevent you from damaging your motor because you're revving it like crazy when the oil hasn't had enough time to reach operating temp and properly lubricate your motor. Two tips:

1. Stop treating your car so poorly.
2. Use the button and search for "cold rev limiter".

you have to wait till the temp gage shows three bars, if you do it before then you will hit the cold rev limiter!

and as far as the enthusiast thing goes, if you enter your vin number they will verify it and then you can be switched to owner...
