Maybe they've moved on to LS2's that make 400 HP.

RICKS said:mball, how old are you and have you ever actually DRIVEN a car on the track?? Let's say (purely hypothetical) the car redlines at 6,500. The factory will set the rev limiter at 6,600-6,700. Most rev limiters sit a bit above the redline on the gauge. If you had any real track experience, you'd know that. He said that you rev the car "to" the redline, not mash the gas, swing right through the redline and crash into the rev limiter. It just makes my head hurt.....
Speaking of morons...mball said:If you take the car to redline and drop the clutch, guess what happens? NOTHING!! The car barely moves untill the RPMs drop back down and you get a nasty smell of burning clutch because of the REV LIMITER. Please go and drive a car before you argue against it because you really sound like a moron.

Just go a head and get one, you can be as dumb as you want, I will not.
mball said:Hmmm...call me crazy but I have never seen a Legacy with Recaro racing seats, a Momo steering wheel, suede door panels, STI specific gauges or racing pedals

Please tell me how the rev limiter has anything to do with smoking the clutch? That has a lot more to do with the tires having more grip than the clutch. I'm curious as to how the rev limiter gets involved. Do tell...

He heard it on an intraweb websitejasonlee0704 said:Of course, mball here is the ONLY one here who would pay $17,000 for suede door panels, "racing" pedals, and a turbo.
Have you figured out who runs a 12.9 in a bone stock STi yet, mball?
Yes, I agree, please, do tell us how a rev limiter has anything to do with the smell of the inadequate clutch burning. We're all waiting, as the more you type, the funnier your total dunce-ity with everything automotive becomes. Do you know how a clutch works? How a rev-limiter works? Evidently the answer to both questions is "no". Basically, all you've told us is that the Evo has a clutch that can't hold par with the driveline of the car. So I'M the moron? Everything I said was dead accurate, and you respond with this idiotic reply that if I drove the car, then I would know that the clutch is too weak for a full-boogie launch, and that the smell of the burning clutch is attributed somehow to the rev limiter?? You know, you guys are right. I'm arguing with Chuckles the Clown. It's getting to the point that we need to just abandon the forum for a week or two such that the trolls and the kids who don't know a clutch from a decklid wing will find better things to amuse them.. I'll confess that I'm one of the worst when it comes to allowing myself to get sucked-in by the brainless... It's like a black hole in space, a vacuum, that sucks you into oblivion...Speaking of morons... Please tell me how the rev limiter has anything to do with smoking the clutch?
