C230K 4,000 RPM neutral limit
So, the other day, in a foul (or was that fowl?) mood, I rev the engine and come to find out that there's a 4K rpm rev limiter on the 6 sp manuals when not in gear.
Did you know that?

c240
130 for me in my c240. i got worried because my engine was revving at about 5500, but it was so smooth. its crazy seeing everything on the sides of the car woosh past you, its such a rush.

Very educational. Government scare tactics :vedit: whoa... i just noticed, i've been a member since 2002, but this is my first post. maybe cuz i don't actually have a MB yet

You guys should get the renntech ECU if you want to rev to redline in neutral. I remember it was lots of fun when i someone would rev at me in my old c230 and i would rev back and rev it to about redline, fun watching them get scared. :p
