Personally, I don't feel it's a good idea to "hit the rev limiter".

Why not?

Because:

* it increases wear on the engine to spin it up that fast

* the engine has already produced its top HP and torque

* when you hit the rev limiter, the fuel is shut off to the engine and it stops (or slows down) for a moment.

* so, if the engine stops for a moment, you have just lost the race against the soccer mom in the mini-van

* or, if your in a tight curve, you just lost the forward thrust of the drive wheels

That's my take -
