Trust me, its amazing when I am in drive then suddenly I put it in "N" for the nos before I race the M3 beside me, we count 3,2,1 I Floor it in drive and then when i am off i put it in "N" for NOS mode and all you can hear is the engine bouncing off 4000 RPM
It sounds nuts.

Here is what I have determined.. through experimenting 
While the vehicle is at a stand still in P or N, you cannot rev past 4k
If the vehicle is in motion (shift it to N) you can rev past 4k for a short period of time.
I did not maintain pressure on the pedal, these were quick bursts, as noted previously to just showcase the monster engine the pops when the engine revs down is awesome.
That leads me to believe that the system is limiting based on motion, and not necessarily what gear (or position rather) you are in on the tranny.

On the highway I sometimes shift to Neutral and rev just to showoff to people that hollar

For ppl bashing the OP, just take it easy... this topic could be interesting for some (like myself).
My salesman revved my engine on "Park" until I could hear a popping noise from my car just to show off... I always wondered if this could be bad for the engine? In addition, the same night of the delivery, I got a CEL for bad 02 sensor... could it be related?

HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt any realation. Your engine is fine, I PROMISE YOU. These things are pushed to red heat before placed. All the care during break in is for the transmission, NOT THE ENGINE. I had 2 O2 sensor light in the first week. Just a pain in the ***. These cars have very very sensitive sensors.
Don't worry Roswell.

The rev limiter in park is 6500, not 4k.

Tried to get my car to pop and crackle and it seems indeed IS a limiter 4k or 4.5k and it cuts the accelerator. Even I try to floor it Or 2nd rev it to pass 4.5k after limiter kicked in. It wouldn't let me. 2019 c63s in park.

I "accidently" revved my engine in P and there was no limit at 4k rpm, it's a 13' MY. did they remove this limit or is my ECU modified without me knowing?

well my 2000 SLK55 has a rev limiter at like 4k-4500 ish but my 2012 CLS63 n my brother’s CL63 doesn’t have a problem revving up to like 6k in park you know for friends n what not...also just again for friends and what not there wouldn’t be a way that I could get rid of the rev limiter or anything on the SLK can i?
