I have been out practicing my launches and keeping track of my 60' times and 0-60 times. I hit the rev limiter every time I try to wring every bit of rpm out of my car. I am focused on the HUD tach and it never gets to 6500 before the motor falls away. My first question is, is this harmful to the motor when the rev limiter engages and cuts the power? I have also focused on the MPH and the rev limiter kicks in at 59 mph and strangely (to me) it appears that the car does not achieve 60 mph until l lift off the gas. I thought this car was capable of 63 mph in first gear? Is my technique the problem? Any suggestions on this issue?
