simple question (i'm curious)

when i floor my car just sittin still in neutral, the engine only revs to 4000, it's limited there. is this the same for everyone? sometimes i wanna sound all bad-*** and rev to the redline just sittin there at a light or something but i can't cause it won't let me get above 4000 in neutral. and i'm too lazy to RTFM also.

Ull hit 6 if u want.

WHen ur approaching the lite and slowing down pop it into neutral then rev it. It will rev to 6 from then on.

U need to be in a gear then switch out, this tricks it. Our trans is n drop proof.

hehe

In case you care, it is hard on the engine to rev it high with no load. In fact some cars have a lower rev limit when in lower gears.

Yes, the manual only revs to 4000 in Neutral, as does the auto in N or P.
