Take a look at this little video of a Honda CRV being revved. Notice something very disturbing?

Actually most cars have a lower rpm at stand still because there is nothing to move, therefore an engine that is not doing any work will tend to be "loose" internally. Thin about a gallon of chocolate milk that you are trying to shake extremely hard, then think about shaking that hard without the gallon of chocolate milk in yer hands. Or better yet a ten pound ball on the end of a rope that you are swinging like a hammer/shotput (olympics) then take it away and watch yourself fall on yer face.

True, cars have certain Rev limiters in neutral so the lack of resistance made by the tires and axles doesn't allow the car to damage the engine. I've had it happen when I was shifting my Lanos AT from 1 all the way up to D and it accidently slipped into N. The car started making that noise at about 4500 RPM and I knew I hit the neutral limiter. However, in gear, the limit is like 6200 RPM or something (no tach to check) whereas on my Honda the AT shifts at 6500 under WOT.

Hondas have fairly high revving engines with power on the top end and power that is more balanced than our own engines (no low end, powerful high RPM in my car). The S2000 can rev to 9000. Its only ricer boys that give Hondas their bad name.

Well, I don't know any manual cars that have a lower rev limiter in neutral... maybe it's just an automatic thing...
