To keep it from blowing up. All HHRs have a limiter, it's in the programming.

No, all computer controlled cars have limits.
The programmers must have been listening to their grandfathers when they told them revving the engine was bad for it.

I think their Grandpa's told them that "Neutral Drops = Blown Trannies".

Does wonders for being a 131 cubic 2.0L engine. Chevrolet knew to put a limiter on it, got to make it last. Very smart, I wouldn't want to be taking it in for engine issues all the time.
