Rev limit
Okay, so the RX-8 has a redline of 9000 RPM. Very nice. I've been pondering though....what kind of damage would there be to a rotary engine if you "over revved" it?? Seeing as it has no valves and valvetrain, I don't see what could break.

it's an RX tradition. the engine is smooth, and approaches redline fast... it's just an audible warning to shift, and you can use it to time shifts, to avoid bouncing it off the limiter.
