Won one, lost one to a mini cooper

[2814v]

Comming home from work see two HD headlights coming up behind me while I'm stopped at a red light. He quickly changes lanes and stops next to me. Its a copper colored mini and by the way he is inching up, waiting for the green light I know he wants to dust my a$$. Light turns green he gets a slight jump, my bumper is at his door, I pull even with him and BOUNCE OFF THE REVE LIMITER :cuss: He pulls a car lengh and I back off :bash: He catches the next light and its my turn to change lanes and pull beside him. This time good launch and good shift I pull a car lengh on him and feel much better :coolman: I could not tell if it was the cooper S our standard model. It did have the center exhuast.

Anybody know off any damage ever caused by hitting the reve limiter?

Shouldn't be any problem if you don't do it all the time. That's what it's there for, right?

i did it twice in my svtf and it only slow down and the rpm goes down , of course it souldnt be any problem if u havent modified the ecu or put on a sportchip to ur car

That's what the rev limiter is there for! Hell I use it all the time LOL. As long as you are not bouncin' off of it between every shift you should have no worries :beer: Useless knowledge:the mini S has the center exhaust and the same tranny as your car. -ie. 6speed getrag. :rockon:
