Default Confused

G'day,

Just before when I went for a drive to get some lunch, I had a bit of a run with a mate. Well anyway, we took off from a set of lights (was an 80 zone, didnt go over the limit) using the 1st 2nd 3rd selector....anyway I was under the impression, and damn sure that the I6 won't valve bounce as they have rev limiters....yet my valve bounced in 1st.

Can someone confirm that they do or don't have rev limiters?

Cheers,
HC
