Default RE: Rev limiter

My brother and i were at the drag strip and he lost to me and i dont know if it was a cop out or not. After the racehe reved it in neutral and it hit the rev limiter at 4000 rpm not at redline and i thought that was kinda odd and he got scared and thought he broke his car. If he didnt want to lose he shouldnt have race a SVT Lightning.

Automatic has a liimiter on it in neutral. Probably to keep stupid kids from neutral dropping it and destroying their trannys and making warranty claims at the dodge dealership.

Yes, the automatic transmissions neutral rev limiter is set at 4000 RPM, which seems to be the universal limiter for any automatic these days...the engine rev limiter is set at 6750 RPM's however...
