If you are WOT and your clutch pedal gets pressed in there is a secondary rev limited activated (say 5500 rpm). This way when load is taken off the car(clutch in) the car doesnt rev to 7500 rpm and bounce of the limiter. Instead the car naturally comes down from 7500 rpm and will sit and bang off 5500rpm until you let off the clutch. Once the clutch is out again the 7500rpm limit is active again.

He was short shifting in the video so he was actually reving up between shifts which would not feel good to do on the road. Typically you set it at 5000 this way when you shift at redline it is seamless between gears and you wont get TOO much of a jerk. Someone correct me if i am wrong but this is how it worked in my11 sti
