    I had a friend ask if these cars have rev limiters on them. I wasn’t sure so couldn’t answer that.
    Do they have limiters on them, or is this something that can be set through the computer?

    All Mopars have rev limiters built-in to protect the engine. As an example, if you have an automatic and choose to manually shift, the engine will automatically go into the next gear, when you hit the red line, if you are too slow to shift.

    On a 5.7, the rev limiter will probably kick in at 5,500 rpm. The 6.1 and 6.4 Hemis have a 6,000 rpm red line.

    Yea, factory is around 6-6500
    and the tuners have Adjustable ones
    To keep me from playing as much on the way to work
    And Incase you ever let someone else drive your car.

    Funny, the fly-by wire Jeep HEMI automatic cuts out at 3k in neutral
    I mean that is what my wife told me :)

    Trust me. It works! Although I hit 95 in 3rd gear to do it.

    Which motor is in your Challenger? I will admit to 75mph in my 5.7 with 3.90 differential, 6 speed manual tranny. Sounded badass too but I will not make a habit of it.
