ActionGT

Hi I am wondering if this is normal or if I have done something to the engine. When I accelerate in 2nd gear the engine hits a limiter at just over 6600 rev and then cuts. With the red line going up to 8000rpm, I would have thought it would have cut out there rather than just after the red line. Any thoughts would be great, it's a UK 55 plate that done 5,000 miles. Thanks
