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.

 

10,000 Rpm

 

Ya, okie!

 

I hit my limiter all the time, nothing to worry about.

 

6600rpms... you didn't hurt a damn thing..

 

if its running rough you may have bent a pushrod, if not it's probably fine, I think the stock limit is 6200 ??, you dont want to do it often, the limiter is a fuel cutoff not spark...

 

it's 6500-6600 for the Z06. I've done it plenty of times, no worries.

 

Where would you guys sugest shifting the car at? Im thinking of getting some baseline runs at the track tomorrow before i do anything to the ca (if i do anything to the car).

 

In a perfect run 100 to 200 RPM before redline.

 

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.

 

The rev limiter is to keep you from messing up anything.

 

Happens at least once a day.

 

I installed a shift lite so I would know my car would be cutting out soon.

 

the first few weeks i had gotten my 03 Z06 i was doin some donuts and hit the rev a few times, i know how it feels, i was like, "oh **** i hope I didn't break anything" these cars are meant to take a few beatings, lol

 

yeah just got mine and hit the limiter alittle in third racing my friends tt mustang gt. Didnt hurt anything. like assassin said the pushrods would be the only thing you could've hurt and you would probably notice it.

 

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.

 

So you are saying that your Cobra was slow and never was able to hit the limter. You got in a fast car and hit it and think you blew it up. It's not a Ford.

 

And so begins the retarded ford vs chevy debate.

 

Naaaa.

If there is one thing I have learned its that you dont argue with an idiot. They only bring you down to their level, and then beat you.

I'll pass.
