Default Rev Limiters...WTF???

I know the sweetie redlines at 9000 RPMs....

What's this I hear about RPMs bouncing back down at 6000 or 7000 for a split second....on its way higher?

BTW...I saw a Spa Yellow Stook driving oncoming with the top down...

It sounded so incredible...and it looked gorgeous in the sun

It'll bounce at 6000 RPM if the car isn't warmed up.

The only cause of the rev limiter is cockpit error. The car protects itself with a fuel cut-off at 6,200 RPM if the temp is not at three bars. It will also cut-off at 9,200 .....but that's another story.

I think the rev limiter is at 6200 when the oil pressure is not quite up to spec yet which equates to about the time we reach three bars. maybe on some cars its two...so much for accuracy on those digital gauges.
