Unless you over speed the engine by keeping it in gear, going down a hill and exceed the electronic limitation and mechanically over run it, or over speed it by downshifting into a lower gear that mechanically over runs it...

Those aren't cases where one can engage ("hit") the limiter.
Same; 6000-6500 rpm. But the vast majority of my shifts are far below that.
I am going to be curious as to how this will change once the new gearbox is installed; with the taller gearing, I suspect that the rpms will drop a little more. Starting to arrange that now.
Got new tyres and corrected the windscreen wipers which had been mounting each other while in rest position. Will tackle a very curious looking handbrake which is aimed at the top of the windscreen when engaged currently. The new exhaust is quite droney at the moment, hopefully once it is coked up a bit the sound should improve.

I'm not sure that would even be possible... Maybe on a really steep hill with your foot full on the gas, bouncing off the rev limiter as well. Otherwise the compression braking would be far more of a slowing effect than gravity accelerating it into the red. Of course I've never tried it!
