Does Scion tC have rev limiter?
Moderator. It’s not a mechanical rev limiter, but it’s built into the ECU. The only way to remove it would be to override your stock ECU with some kind of piggyback BUT there really is no gain to be had as the rev limited is there to protect the engine from damage, not reduce horsepower.
Can scion tC be fast?
The 2016 Scion tC isn’t the fastest or most nimble sports coupe in its class, and reviewers complain that it rides harshly on rough pavement. However, as long as you’re not expecting overly thrilling driving dynamics, auto writers say you’ll find the tC to be a satisfactory choice.
What happens when you hit redline?
Consistently redlining your car can cause serious damage to not only your tires, but also your engine. For those with manual-shift modes or manual transmissions, it can be quite easy to redline (whether on accident or on purpose) and eventually cause your engine to wear down prematurely.

Is it bad to shift at redline?
The transmission will be going much faster than the engine and so the engine, when the gear is engaged, will rev and exceed the redline. This will cause the vehicle to feel like it’s hit a brick wall with engine braking and is the main way revving to redline can cause engine damage.
Does high rpm hurt engine?
The absolute most stress on an engine occurs at high RPMs. The forces acting upon the rotating assembly are exponentially increased with RPM. That also increases the magnification of any oiling inconsistencies (as small as they may be nowadays), which can be deadly to engines.

3k is not high revs… you car can take more, actually it is good for your car to be pushed higher than that but i would not redline it constantly either. IN my daily commute I usually drive in town or traffic and hardly go above 3000-3500 rpms.
