Need help

I have a quick question, sorry if its a n00b one but on my TL the rev limiter goes to around 6 1/2, 7 I think (Thats were the redline is on the gauge anyway) But for some reason my TL is redlining at 5? Dont know why this is.

Sorry I just posted that while I was/or still is drunk maybe because I was a bit curious on why are you reving the engine so high in park anyways. Is that the cool thing to do nowadays?

Naw I just hadn't started the car in a long time, so I let it warm up and I thought since it has a flat tire Ill rev it a little.
