Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - So......How often do you hit the Rev limiter??

Frequently, 2-5 times a week. the pitfall of a quiet exhaust, having the top down, and loving 2nd and 3rd on those on-ramps. As was stated our redline is very conservative, but with a supercharger coming I think I will hit it far less frequently due to the increased power levels.

I am glad that the 370 has such a soft rev-limiter, unlike the 350Z which upon hitting the rev-limiter apparently deployed a large boat anchor.

After 10,000 miles of hard living, my motor is only burning two tenths of a quart over 4000 miles, so hitting the rev-limiter does not seem to have a detrimental effect on the motor
