Max RPM in park?

I'm not one to gun the engine in parkl, but I did the other day and the engine didn't seem to want to go over 4000 RPM. Is there some kind of limiter that makes it do that?

This is a 2008 BS. I checked the owners manual and didn't see anything but thought this forum's collective wisdom might know something the manual doesn't and now I'm kind of curious.

Seriously?

MB does this to save the engine from people who like to see how high their engine will rev in park!
