It tops out around 6,300 and then it sounds like you've got a really bad miss as it cuts off the power.

C5 rev limit is 6200
C5 Z06 is 6500.
Mine is set at 7200 or until my rod bearings inform me otherwise
No, you can't do a burnout with traction control on. I won't name names, but it has already been tried with a high-hp car.

No, you can't do a burnout with traction control on if it is working properly. There is nothing in the transmission that would pop it out of gear. You must not have had it fully in the gear. If you hold the button down for 10sec. it will put it in competitive driving mode and the ABS and Active Handeling will still work.

FWIW - Any tuner can reset rev limiter to any RPM desired. It's controlled by the PCM. I have a stroked & forged 382 built by Katech, and the rev limiter is set at 6,800 RPM.
When you hit the rev limiter it makes a very unique sound - Sounds like you're suddenly running on 3 cylinders.

And I assume when you say start out in second gear you're refering to a M6....

Holding the traction control button down for 10 seconds will put the car into Competitive Driving Mode. This turns off the traction control but the active handling feature will remain active.
Smoke-um if you can...
