Default Depends on how "hard" you hit it! Rapid acceleration to rev limiter will feel abrupt

Default Huh?
I was able to run at 7000RPM's down the back straight at an autocross for over one seceond at the rev limiter without losing any speed or bouncing off of it.

Wait till you hit it [limiter] coming out of turn trying to pass someone on a track...that sucks!
