Hi,

I just did a dumb thing with my new 2013 Z. I came around an intersection right turn in "M" mode and forgot I was not in full-auto mode. The trans auto-shifted down to 3RD gear and I punched it. Everything felt great until I ran out of gear and hit the "rev limiter". The strange thing is the "rev limiter" didn't feel like my old 350Z. The motor didn't choke or shut down. It simply held the revs at 7500 and no more. Of course, I backed off quickly and shifted-out and everything seemed OK. Is that motor and AT that idiot proof?? It totally took it in stride. This thing is bullet proof!!
