Hey anyone with a 2018 mustang gt have the issue with the rpms mine will only rev to 4.5k then it hits a barrier. When i know the rev limiter is at 7.5k it just don't go that far but when I drive it does. Don't know if everyone's is like this let me know or if it is a problem my salesperson thought it was weird, but knew nothing.

Are you talking stationary rev limiter? Or while you're moving? Manual or Auto? Is the car brand new? Or have you had it a while? Is the vehicle still in transport mode?

wonder if that is a safety item if your just revving it in park? I don't tend to rev my engine in park, so I've never tried, but I know it won't hit that rev limit when in gear :headbang:

Early 2018 GT can rev to 7300 in neutral. Since then they made some change in the stock tune and the park/neutral limiter is set at 4500 rpm like mentioned in this post by [MENTION=9386]Reds197[/MENTION].

I rev my engine first thing in the morning. Wake up start my car and slam that bitch against the rev limiter. You may ask why I do it? Same reason I growl at my dog, to show I'm the Dom. I'm pack lead. No car or dog or woman is gonna tell me how to do anything.

If you car doesn't redline in park I would suggest slashing the tires to show it you're the boss. Should fix up your isshe
