I thought the limit was closer to 5K, but it could be 4100, I didn't pay that close attention. I haven't tried to figure out how to bypass the limit while sitting still. They probably designed it that way for a reason, perhaps because pointless very-high revving of an unloaded engine is bad for it (having load on the engine's output shaft probably stabilizes things a lot).
I've free-revved the engine up to 7K once when I first noticed this just to test, but I did it by shifting to neutral while rolling down the highway at 70mph. The limiter is definitely gone in that case. I don't know if it would be gone sitting in a parking lot in neutral with the e-brake off or not, it may also watch vehicle speed for all I know (as in, car < 10mph, rev limiter still active, or something of that sort).
