The VQ is a very smooth engine, in acceleration, decceleration (sp?), and even bouncing off the rev limiter, haha.

 

Ya, i just couldnt tell if it bounced or cut off, im 90% sure it just cut off on me though.

 

Its the same difference. The rev limiter cuts off the fuel deposit going into the engine, making it shut down for a short period of time. Boucing off the rev limiter I believe is just a catch phrase coined because the car kind of 'bounces' when the engine shuts down.

 

Damn, as long as my car is ok.

 

It'll be fine. Its designed to function that way. Just learn to shift right before your redline! Set the shiftlight 100-200 RPM's before.

 

RSX Is Still FASTER!

 

I almost snorted sprite out my nose.

Bounced my head off the rev ceiling today, it's like being slapped. Totally imagined it'd be a soft peg at redline, not this massive jerk from deceleration while I'm taking a 35MPH onramp at 70. Gotta get used to that.

 

Its really not. But you can keep believing whatever you want.

Damn, better go trade back my Z for the RSX

 

I can relate. When I had my Z just a little while I got into it with one of those new V8 GTO's. In the launch he walked away ez and I kept pressing and hit the limiter. I felt scared and stupid at the same time.

 

I bounced the rev limiter on my dad's C5 Z06 after he added a RAM Air Induction system. There is no 1st gear in that car! LOL.

 

i have my light blink at 3100rpm

 

Bounce it off the limiter as much as you want, thats what it is there for.

 

Tell us where you traded in the RSX so we can have it for ourselves.

 

There is help out there you can get for premature blinking.

 

rsx was, is, and always will be... f-a-s-t-e-r.

 

Never! im going back to get it!!!!!!

 

Actually i emailed my dealer (secretly) who i bought the Z from and they are selling it for 12,995, funny because i sold it to them for 10,250. Seems like a loss of profit for them because their Z was listed 2.5k under bluebook.

 

They will go bankrupt if they sell it for that price. If word gets out they will be ruined.

 

dang, 78000 rpm redline, no wonder RSX's are faster
