AT RX-8: Time between beep and rev limiter
Well for the past few days, I've finally gotten enough confidence to test out the beep at redline. The first time I tried it, I immediately shifted and let off the gas after hearing the beep. Today though I decided to keep on the gas while shifting the moment I heard the beep. I was surprised when it seemed like it hit the rev limiter and bounced the needle back to about 7k right at the shift. This makes me wonder, just how much "space" do you really have between the beep and the rev limiter? Sure doesn't seem like much. At what RPM does the rev limiter kick in anyways?
And as a reminder...we're talking about the automatic RX-8. ;)
