well there's a difference between the redline and the fuel cutoff...some cars you can rev 500rpms past the redline before you hit the fuel cutoff.

yea I kno, the W203 has the fuel cut off right at the redline (ive already found that out) ... I was talking about initial D and now theres a thread growing 'why theres a redline for cars' when 99.9% of the people know why its there :rolleyes:
