Rev Limiter??
I just discovered that my 2.4 with auto limits at 4000 RPM.I was sitting in Park at the time and would gouge on the pedal and no matter how hard I
pushed it stayed at 4K.MY Miata with a 1.8 would buzz up to red line (about 7K) So I kinda expected a little more from the2.4 although the tach only tops out at 6K... Is this the normal rev limit point???

LOL I had the same thing ;It was worse when I had the Miata, especially on curves on an off ramp at 70 MPH,, but it would hug those curves.. so I cannot exactly do the same with the HHR.. She is happy ...

Agreeded.. BUT has anyone tried it themselves to see if indeed that IS the limit point (in Park)??

The actual rev limiter should be just past red line, however, some manufactures have a low rev limiter for no load conditions and 4k sounds pretty reasonable, although I wouldn't ever rev my engine up very high with out a load, rods tend to break under those conditions.
