    This car seems very much like it's meant to be driven hard around a track, with the small block V8, high performance radiator, slick tires, race brakes, etc. It would make sense that the RPM limit would be low enough to prevent over rev damage during high endurance driving, but driving full it full throttle around the American Road race track holds the engine near rev limit and will cause over rev damage and reduced torque. The current limit is 5500RPM, but I suggest 5000RPM should be the limit because it's the highest setting that will prevent any over rev risk warning.

    I attached a video file(at least I hope it attached propery) that shows what I mean and how easy it is to cause over rev damage during normal track driving and the torque reduction caused.

    You have to either throttle it like real race car drivers used to or install the RPM limiter in the parts menu

    It comes with an RPM limiter, but it's set too high. Either it shouldn't have an RPM limit, or it should have one that's set right.
