Banged the ol' rev limiter in the z06 Got an 03 z06.
Thing doesnt rev out like my cobra which i found out when i banged the rev limiter in second gear.
My question is that could i have hurt anything? Heard a loud backfire (probaly just the corsa exhaust as it pops every once in a while anyhow on decel).
Also, what is the shift point in a relatively stock z06?
Thanks.

The rev limiter stops mostly anything internally from getting damaged, but if you downshift into the wrong gear and over rev the **** out of it, then it can damage the engine.
Just like Blue wire said, 100-200rpm before redline. Redline 6500 rpms.
Let us know what times you get.

My car is pretty modded but I didn't know the damn redline was set so much higher than stock. It scared the crap out of me the first time it revved to almost 7,000 rpm because I thought it was something with the trans.

rev limiter is something you want to stay away from but it's really not that big of a deal. However if you run a f/i it can start to hurt the motor when it leans out.
