Default Hit Rev Limiter

Hey I hit the rev limiter for the first time. Driving this car is a gas. I would really like to try it on a track. We live in a small town and it is hard to find a
place to turn it loose.

LT-1 redline??
I don't have an LT-1, but I think it's about 5800.
Your tach has a redline on it, what does it say???????

The redline is 5,500 but I've heard that the limiter is slightly higher than that. It's like the redline says, "Don't go any higher than that" and the limiter says, "DON'T GO ANY HIGHER THAN THAT!!!!!".
