Why on earth do people always feel the need to hit the limiter when driving ? The optimum rpm is about 700 revs before the redline !

I for one have never hit the limiter, sure it's been to 6.5k sometimes but no more.
If i'd have tried it in my dads car (a 172) the noise would have been so unbearable, t's standard too.

dont feel like a dick but i just notice that it gets asked quite a lot on here thats all.

if you search for it you will find more information on this

if u keep the revs high when booting it then change gear so that in the next gear your already at or above the 5k kick surely your car will be quicker? if that makes any sense, just liked the type r civic, when you keep it in the vtec they fly

dont be watching the green light, you should be watching the road
someone on here was busy doing this a crashed into someone at 60mph.
Not a good idea
