 In the middle of racing a Terminator

Please tell us this was on a track, if it wasn't STOP BEING AN IDIOT!

 

I did stuff in the street when I was young, I was a supreme idiot for doing it. Track has been much much more fun anyways.

As for modern rev limiters etc.... When I had the Forte big block tuned (2.4) I also had them raise the rev limiter from 6400 to 7200. That engine had long rods (in comparison to hte 2.0) and 7200 in short spurts was completely acceptible. 7200 going down the front straight at Daytona sitting there could lead to two piece connecting rods. So they also set up the limiter to cut spark for X number of revolutions to give me an audible notification that I was reaching a place I shouldn't be.

But even then I still hit the rev limiter every autox weekend and the engine was strong as a horse when I sold it. God I miss that car.
