Poll: Who has ever hit the rev limiter?

[mgg]

The question should be who has not hit their rev limiter. If the answer is they have not they should be forced to release their car to a car ( ZR-1) enthusiast and buy a Prius. That is the most ridiculous question I have ever read. I really hope there is no one that would take pride in admitting that. If they do they probably live an alternative lifestyle.

Well, I'm pleased to say, I don't think the po, nor myself run this car bouncing off the rev limiter. I've seen the ricers run their cars that way and they all smoke. I would rather throw my money at improvements, not repairs.

I have an L98 and an LT1 in addition to the "Black Momba" and I rarely hit the rev limiter on those cars. I typically shift based on the power curve and after owning and driving these cars for years you just learn where the shift points are. However, that is not the case with my Black Momba.

I've hit the rev limiter more times in that car then I have combined in the other two. Some of this is based on me still getting use to the car but damn, this car pulls all the way to the set limit.

The CR1 went to the new owner on Monday. Two down and one more to go. You need a twin turbo for your collection. Come get it.

...and know what a "NO-NO" is (and use one!) - definitely are WAXERS!

My sentiments exactly

I am shocked......SHOCKED at seeing the poll results.
Almost HALF of the respondents confess to never treading the furthest regions of the LT5's rev capacity.
What a disappointment. You 'oughta be ashamed
Well, just keep changing that oil kids, keep it nice, polish that paint, and put some more shiny juice on them tires. 'Cause some day a real ZR-1 enthusiast might own that car.

(If the above comments offend thee, I am deeply sorry and wish to blame it on the three cups of coffee I've ingested so far today )

OK, I'll confess. I've never hit the limiter but not for lack of trying - it's for not knowing where it is! Anyone know what a typical DRM chip sets the limiter at?

I'd have to dig to find the dyno sheet from early in our ZR-1 adventure but I seem to recall power peaking maybe middle 6k's or so and I don't think we went to the limiter on those three runs.

I have to make the 1-2 shift by where I am on the course, not by rpm. And although it sometimes feels like it I never quite reach the top of 2nd gear (I need to go to the 3.54 rear, most I can do within class rules). For this car, the street is just for transport between events - and soon that will be by trailer.
