Whilst playing the recently released Half Life 2 - episode one, I stumbled across this on the wall:

I agree, its details like that, that finish games off nicely. Its just a shame a lot of people will miss them :p
 
Ahh same as mine then. The graphics look really good for some reason, perhaps you just have a faster computer than mine. :)

Do rotary cars usually have rev limiters?

Yes, 8500rpm in my case, 500 up from standard. The 230bhp version of the RX8 has a 9k limit IIRC.

They love to rev.
 
It's just that I remember watching a video on the Internet of some yank pushing the pedal to the metal and the engine revving to 9krpm (RX7) and very, very slowly climbing and eventually catching fire. :(

the engine was knackered in that vid anyway, only 1 rotor and iirc it was not rebuildable so they killed it.

Yup. 1 broken rotor and they were placing bets on how long the engine would last at 9000rpm. :D

Still a funny video though.
