Yes, this is what the car should do. If you continue to bounce it off the rev limiter you'll go into limp mode for an extended period of time. Around the time when we had the members here track their first-gen Zs, there was a big issue with limp mode; I guess you might consider it to be common knowledge to understand how the limp mode works.

With the Z, it's probably best you don't go to redline anyway. The engine makes power all the way to redline but thanks to VVEL you make equivalent power (hp or lb-ft) at 6000 or if you were at 7000.
