I just recently got my R and a smile comes to my face every time i shift up through the gears . But while out driving around and giving the car some gas, i watched the tach, and i can take the needle up past 9000 and shift without the fuel cutting or hitting a limiter, eventhough the redline is at 8400 or something. Does this happen on everyone else's car, or is my tach just really off?

 

i shift at 9. I think most R's are off when the higher the tach goes.

 

Why would you shift past 8500 anyway? Unless you have work done to the motor...

 

the tach is inaccurate

 

My car shifts for me at 6k rpm.

 

same here

 

WHY? i dont know b/c i can? j/k. i was just out testing out the car and gettting used to it and, just wondering why the needle goes so high, b/c in my other hondas that i have driven, once you get a little past the redline, you feel the engine cut out, and you know not to go that far anymore, but i havent reached that point yet on the R.
