:slap: The idle rev limiter is there so you don't screw up your engine more than you already are from revving it out of gear. Since there's very little resistance on the crank (read: no gear), the engine spins almost effortlessly and it's very bad for it. Maybe your car is trying to kill you for beating the crap out of it like that.
