Question about Redline

Weird, I've hit the rev limiter multiple times without it cutting out on my 6MT. It couldn't be an AT because those are locked at 7500 RPM redline so the torque converter doesn't explode.

The rev limiter and the fuel cut are the same thing. The beep is NOT the rev limiter, it is more of a 'rev warning' and sounds well before fuel cut.
Fuel cut is HOW the rev limiter functions, limiting revs.

I usually hit the beep and shift but got a little excited and went a bit further this time, the rpm needle stops and bounces around 9500 (I believe this is where fuel is cut). I went for another drive later on and all seems ok.

FYI the automatic will go past 7500 rpm's it will cut the fuel @ 8250 before it stops revving. No rev limiter at 7500 or mine doesn't work.

I've hit the cutoff numerous times, usually with the stereo loud enough that I don't hear the beep, and driving in an enthusiastic manner where my eyes are on the road and not on the tach.

I really don't care how fast it I when I'm setting in stop a go traffic for an hour or two. Neither rx8 is fast compared to my FD I just sold, it would smoke about any 8 stock or not( they aren't really that fast manual or auto). I have a modified convertible Rx7 if I want to f**k @ with a clutch pedal all the time, and my wife's 08' corvette is plenty fast if I need to go fast. My brother has a manual 8 I'm not missing that much the clutch pedal in the 8 sucks.

You think your hand and foot are so much faster than hitting the button up or down their really not, ive drove both. You can run second gear to @ 87 mph even in the 4 port auto you all hate.
Our corvette would eat up an 8 thru winding roads and then some.
We all love our 8 for different reasons, mine is not having to use a clutch when shifting.
Our 8's still turn heads at any speed just an awesome machine. I loved my FD till I bought my 8. There really is no comparison in comfort, build or ride quality.

Additionally, the paddle shifters guarantee nothing, the computer can decide at any time that the shift is a bad idea and ignore your input. If you push in a clutch and select a gear(provided all components are healthy and the synchros can take it), you are going into that gear with the manual.
Good keep the carbon from building up in your engine.
