Just out of curiosity, how accurate is it on a 2001 Bullitt? I remember hitting the rev limiter in neutral for a second a few months back, (twice, my friends bugged me to do it,) and as soon as I hit around 6,500-6,600 RPMs, it bounced around from there to like 6,200 RPMs a few times. If the rev limiter is set to 6,250 RPMs, assuming my limiter was never increased, I'm assuming either; A) my tachometer is off, B) it'll do that in neutral, C) the stock tachometer isn't accurate, D) my limiter WAS raised and I didn't know because I bought the car used. Also, what's worse, hitting the limiter in neutral or while driving? Today while launching for a friend for fun while heading home, my tires were a little wet, and I had a ton of wheelspin, and I didn't quite hit the rev limiter in 1st gear, but I got pretty high up, what looked like 6,300 RPMs.
Honestly, how bad is hitting the rev limiter every once in a while? By once in a while, I mean like once every few months, and obviously not intentionally.

. Ok hitting the rev limiter whilst driving is bad enough, but to rev like that when not under load? are you retarded??? I would NEVER exceed 4k in neutral. And you will be slower if you bounce off the limiter!! try shifting at 6k flat when racing. The powerband drops around there anyways. And try to only go past 3k maybe once every couple weeks. How old are you? Take alittle pride in your possessions and don't destroy it.
. On a normal drive, I shift at around 2,500-3,000 RPM, depending on traffic.
) and i still downshift when slowing down, never knew it was a bad thing, guess I will stop. Love the way the 4v sounds on deacceleration.
theres something about being able to screw up a downshift and spin some bearings that scares the crap outta me
