does the Auto/Manual have a rev limiter built in, so my joy riding friends dont blow the motor?

 

yes and it goes way past 7.5krpms. it stops about 7,800 then starts bouncing off the wall like crazy.

wtf???

it's at 6750rpm

 

I've noticed it closer to 6900, but it's definately there.

The auto will prevent you from downshifting, as well, if it would over-rev the engine.

The 6-speed, however, cannot stop you from throwing the car into 1st at 100mph.

oops my bad. I meant 6,800.

Actually yeah it can. It won't let you downshift to first, just go 80mph and try to downshift in a 6MT.

What, is there some sort of lockout on the lower gears at higher speeds?

yes ryo ken, there is some sort of mechanical lockout on pretty much all manuals these days, read it somewhere

Ahh. Last manual I had, the sophistication had only climbed so far as to keep you from sliding it from 5th straight back into R.

I had the unfortunate experiance of downshifting from 6th to 2nd (I missed 4th obviously) and I saw nothing that stopped my shifting or the revs. It caused a horrible wheel screech and watching my revs go all the way up to 8000. Not fun, but everything seems to be fine. Just wanted to share my experiance.
