Rev limiter in Park

I just placed an order for the AWE Track system, but I am worried it won't be as obnoxious as I want it to be. My concern is that you cannot properly rev the car in Neutral or Park. I tried the dealer menu and there is nothing there to do it. Is there a way to free rev the car that I haven't been able to access?
I would like to reiterate, that this is purely to satisfy my need to hoon. The CLA/GLA 45 free revving, snap, crackle, pop, brap brap while standing still is what I'm looking for.
Is this at all possible?

Haha join the club man. I have looked for the answer to this for a long time. No solutions as of now. Not even the tuners can remove it. God knows what governs this.

It’s the ECU protecting the engine from you. Engines aren’t designed to bounce off the rev limiter with zero load.

As JGreen76 previously stated, it is the ECU not allowing it. I have a Weistec tune and reving it in park or neutral is entirely different. It does not rev at insane RPM but significantly more than stock.

God damnit I HATE THIS! It's not a huge deal most of the time but then someone hears your car and asks you to rev it for them. There's no good answer for that

I'm more frustrated how the ECU limits brake boost launches to 2krpms. So frustrating. Car launches decent at 2k but if it would allow a measly 500 more rpm, this thing would blast off like a friggin rocket!

I hear you, I have one of the best sounding AMG's anywhere, I get all the cracking and popping and turbos spooling down sound and it's heavenly . I have so many people ask what exhaust I have, it is stock modified. The down shifts from 4th to 3rd at 50MPH are out of this world, EPIC!!

This is a great forum, you guys explain things and they can be completely understood, thanks for that! So if I do by a C43 I won't be able to behave like an 18 year old, kinda like that!

Just 2k? Ive got mine to go past that to be honest. Builds the boost all the way and i spin all 4 tires.

I have never gotten tire squeels once, not even a chirp on the launch. Rev rev rev, release the brake, BOG. I'm on the stock P Zero Neros and I can't get them to break loose.
