all cars have a rev limiter. ie, a limiter that prevents your engine from going into a dangerous rpm range. (unless of course your car is old as the hills)

and what kind of car do you drive with what engine?

i know what a rev-limiter is, and ive never hit one in my car, youd think if you reved past the redline that youd hit it, i havent yet. ie. no rev-limiter

a 1982 Toyota Celica, 22R carbed.

usally, only fuel injected engines have rev-limiters, older cars like mine dont have the onbord computers needed to run a rev-limiter. after i put the MSD ignition box in my car, then ill have an adjustable rev-limiter.

I do not think anyone has ever run a civic against the limiter in 5th gear!

that's because you wont ever get to the rev limiter in 5th gear. the speed limiter will cut in and prevent you from going that far.

around the 130mph mark. you'll be limited to that. there's that whole legal thing about a manufacturer being required to limit a car's speed to a speed = or less than the maximum speed rating on the OEM tires.
