Default Rev Limit?

Hey Folks,

I was sitting in the car with it idling a few minutes ago messing with settings and after it warmed up I decided to blip the throttle. It would not let me go above 2.5K. Is this normal during break in? He has about 250 miles on him and was fine driving around last night.

Thanks,
Robert

when in park, it limits revving, I thought 3500rpm. Put it into drive, pull paddles back to engage neutral, hit gas, go wild.

Nothing to do with break in. If you want to rev (which might be a bad idea during break in) you need to pull both paddles.
