Default Re: Poll: Who has ever hit the rev limiter?

I hit it hard once in my 89 IROC on a missed shift, I was 18 and still learning but thinking I was an F1 driver at the same time. I was going through a tight corner at high speed, needless to say I was *** end first coming close to eating the curb, with a red face and wearing a humble grin.

But I havent hit the limiter on the Z, Even though I have gone 182 on the freeway in her. That'll pucker your *** like no other. Things go by very very quickly and that rock hard suspension starts to feel more like a 77 cadillac.

I shift when I can feel the power band tapering off, why stay in that gear when the next one will give you more power? Unless I go from 3rd to 2nd, I dont plan on bang'in the limit.

And shift light?? huh? Who? Where? Are they on 94's?

Poly bushings will take care of that I guarantee it.



If your a DIY guy you'll need a 12 ton press and be prepared for a big job. But it will feel rock solid at any speed and have very little body roll around corners.
