Agree with what was said earlier though, the engines just rev so cleanly that you can hit crazy revs without realising most of the time!

I think my car has hit the limiter about 6 times 5 of which where my fault and one was a buddy driving it.

I go up to 7k and then change before it hits the limiter.
