sorry, but mpeg is not quicktime format. mov is quicktime.

oh yeah, anybody who would take off the rev limiter and be clumsy enough to misshift shouldn't get to drive a nice car.

No, the link is for an mpeg file. Not a quicktime (mov). Quicktime is just the program opening the file.

Rev limiter only kicks in while accelerating, it doesn't work for downshifting. Thats why you can screw up like that. Otherwise, mis-shifting wouldn't be all too big of a deal.

White hit it right on the nose. When misshifting you are forcing the engine to go into higher RPM's revlimiter or not, that engine is going there.

I did the exact same thing [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]
I've seen this vid 5 times before and to me, it still sounds like the driver is stoned.

i was in 5th going like 65 once and i broke real fast while on the expressway, i slowed down to like 40 or so and i tried to put it in 4th and missed, i hit 2nd!... damn the car leaped to like 5600 rpm (ive never reved that high, evAR!) that was dumb. i had splint on my right hand though cause of hand surgery.


car still runs like new.
