How often do you hit the rev limiter?

[epapp]

AND since my redline is 6500, and the engine rev limits somewhere VERY near that value, I'm calling them the same.

In reality, they are some hundred RPMs away from eachother, but, like I said one million times, I spend 0.09 seconds at the rev limiter, whats the impact on the 'longevity' of the engine compared to 0.09 seconds at 6,200RPM??? Not quantifiable says me.

Fun factor @ 6,6xxRPM limiter > 'serious race' factor @ 6200RPM...I'm only getting on the freeway
