bcoz its an auto, its factory tuned to avoid any dangers to the engine. unless your car is equipped with overdrive, you cant redline your car,

unless you drifting on snow,
my cadi had an ovedrive, but when i was sliding all over th place, i had it redlining at 2nd till i break the drift

you've gone over 240? do you think that putting it into the sport mode on the auto trans would help it rev higher?
