I’ve just tried it on mine, still has a limiter. Also tried it in N with left foot on the brake, park brake off. Still has a limiter

I've tried it too, and the only thing that worked was popping it into neutral as its moving, then you can rev it. Defeats the object though as it has to be rolling along to do it

I also have found the car has another party trick......it has an amazing ability to get you a speeding ticket. First one ever in my life, on the M40, mobile unit, the one and only time I had not switched to Waze in the MMI, pulled out past some slow traffic, foot down, look up, oh bugger! :bash:

I’m not sure I get revving any engine unloaded, even more so engines with turbo and GPF. Pretty much a given it’ll sound crapola!

All a bit McDonalds car park no?

Only one problem, you can’t hear any bangs when reving in neutral, as sadly limiter blocks it, C7 boss for that)

Yeah if you want to look like a tit that is

What the <beep> is it with pops and bangs?

If your a petrol head then sound has a lot to do with it, I do find the crackle maps that come on stock cars a little embarassing though, no need for it.
