Much progress!

Have you visisted redline yet?  If and more likely, when you do, don't
freak out when the fuel cutoff kicks in which prevents you from
over-revving.  If you haven't already experienced it, it'll feel like
your car has developed a bad high speed miss (which it has,
intentionally).  It'll be fine as soon as you lighten up on the old gas
pedal and let the revs fall below 7,0000 rpm or so.

Unfortunately, I do it all too frequently, as the engine feels like it
wants to continue to rev...and I'm watching the road, not the tach.
