This is a really interesting thread. I'm looking to pick up an '05 RS after Christmas. If the RS model doesn't have the 5k launch limiter it makes me wonder if Mitsu put anything into the RS ECU that looks for high RPM launches and records it. I think the E46 M3 w/SMG has something like that. After "x" amount of high RPM launches your warranty is restricted. The ECU keeps count apparently.

5k limiter sounds like a good no lift to shift feature. i pick up my 05 rs on tuesday probably will not try the 5k test for a few hunderd miles or so.

How to disable the 5k rev-limiter:

I have some pictures of the switches...need to get them up on the Internet.
MarkDaddio: Nice to see you in the RS and on the board...I look forward to hearing some more of your impressions, suspension tweaks, etc. ...ran against you a couple times in my Street Modified 97GSX
