hey guys i own a 2005 integra luxury automatic. full stock. and recently was in an accident, just exterior damage to the front. after like 5 weeks in smash repairs i finally got it back. so far though the car feels like it was before, just minor differences but the car still drives the same.
just a few days ago, me and my mates decided to do a little test to see how the cars fared against each other.
my mate's hyundai getz (stock) and mine had our cars on parked and just floored it to see the rev limit, mine stopped at 5000rpm and wouldnt go any higher
his, he said to went to 6000rpm
is there anything wrong with my car, should i get it checked out? or am i just being paranoid?

DC5 Type R and Type S both have a stationary rev limit at ~5000rpm to protect the engine. most likely your car has the same thing.

would this be similar protection as vtec not activating when the car isnt moving?
