Ok so i was driving the other day and i wasn't really paying any attention no how fast i was going in first gear so i somehow red lined it and well the car felt like it was going to stall....has this happened to anyone else?

 

most likely you were bouncing off the rev limiter

 

Wow, it's actually pretty hard not to notice your engine is revving at 7400rpm.

 

Its called a rev limiter. Its there to prevent you from over revving your engine and causing damage. Basically when you hit a certain rpm (7400 i think?) the rev limiter kicks in and cuts off fuel, and that is what you felt.

 

yeah not a problem i've probably done it a half dozen times at least. It's there to prevent you from doing any harm. It's actually not as hard as you'd think..especially if you are in a low gear ready to make a pass in traffic or something.

 

Perhaps someone isnt driving their car right

 

It is if you're one of those listening to the stereo at 35.

 

I had the music up pretty loud and i have a heavy foot so what can i say...........

 

I have the Injen intake on. You'll hear it then!

 

35????

I must have sensitive ears, but the loudest I can go is 18-20.

I usually drive with the windows up, though since it's getting bitterly cold here.
