What point does the rev limiter kick in on a stock car? Right at redline?

The reason I ask is I've pushed it right at or slightly over redline on accident a couple times and never felt or heard the limiter kick in. Maybe it did and I didn't feel it because it happened right as I went to shift.

Maybe it didn't sound like a stock limiter because it says in the comments that it has a brenspeed tune.

The tune doesn't have anything to do with how a stock rev limiter works. You can set the limit with the tune but that doesn't change how the rev limiter works.

Oh, I thought you were talking about something else. Or you were going off the rev sound. Maybe I'm just confused as to what you were saying.
