Oh yeah I know, no computer can stop physics thats why I was worried about this... Just the way I figured it, is if GM put a limiter at 6800 then while its not good to go that high, it probably wont do any damage going that high...

4th to 1st? I have a 98 M6 T/A, it locks me out of first until I'm low enough in the RPMs... That's weird.

Actually when revs are mechanically induced, you can go over the rev limiter. However if it is any consolation, I miss shifted from top of 3rd to 2nd and from top of second to 1st all in one night, this was when I first got my car. No bent push rods, no broken rear end,and no busted tranny. lucky I guess.

I know this really has nothing to do with the thread, but your car is beautiful B-MAN. I went to breathless performance to get a better look at the lights, but they don't have any close-shot pics. Do you have any closeups?
