Did another autoX today and it seemed like the straights were just long enough to get into the rev limiter. Does it do any damage when the limiter kicks in? I kept telling myself that is what it is for. No real way to look at the tach. What would a person do if the car was chipped and the limiter removed?

I did a Auto-X today too, 2nd place again... GORMZ3 21:13 6/24/2001 (1)
