Rev limiter at 5000 RPM's!?

[user1290]

Hey guys, I have a '03 VIII. And just this weekend I ran into a guy that had a '05 VIII

We were having the usual talk about the car and the engine. Then he told me that Mitsu put a Limiter on the '05 VIII at 5000 rpm's. I was shocked and thought maybe he was doing something wrong his car.

Then he showed me, and sure as shit..... it limiter kicked in at 5g's. Does any other coutry out there have this problem with the '05 VIII's or is it just backwards Americans. I makes me glade that I got my car when the first came to the US.

But I hope that this doesn't become a trend for the Mitsubishi motors of America. Plus the IX is is on its way, does that mean its going to get hammed down too :?:
