So for us slumming XR8 owners, we only have 6000 limit. Would have been nice to rev it to 6250 on fast runs......

I do wonder what in practice the motor will rev to before the limiter cuts in.

I am hoping the engine may hopefully rev past the 6000 despite what the revcounter shows.
I would say it has more to do with standardising the same dial package across the range to save complexity on the line.
