Was she WOT when the rev limiter hit? If so, she might want to take it a bit easier until she learns a bit more about the car. If she wasn't WOT then it sounds like she needs to check her codes and go from there. As for the A/C problem, it sounds like a low coolant situation, but I'd have a shop check it and maybe put some dye in the system to check for slow leaks.

I took her for A ride I can see that this car is way to much for her I really did not even get on it hard and i was scareing or scaring not sure which. the rpm bobble was Im sure just a fluke and the other thing when you hit the air cond buton it just blinks so low fluid sounds right darn I wish I could have gotten this car.
