Rev limiter

Today was the first time I really hit my rev limiter. I've come close before, but this time I bounced--at least, I think I did. I was accelerating in 1st when there was a sudden drop in power. I looked at my tach and the rpms were lower than I would have expected, but I had also let up on the accelerator when I sensed the power loss.

Anywhoo, I knew what was supposed to happen when you hit the limiter, but this was the first time I really experienced it myself. So that's what it's like.

I hit it once in my 1.8 T and the power dropped significantly, and the just went "konk". It scared me at first I thought I had broke something until I realized what happened.
