Hello - I red-lined my X300 XJR this evening - and the throttle stopped responding for ~10 seconds!
This is highly undesireable - is it typical?
Regards

You hit the PCM's rev limit, perfectly normal.
Not necessarily. It all depends on what you're doing. And it beats the hell out of some of the alternatives ... like bent valves.
It is in all *modern* cars.

Maybe I'm being naive, but isn't 'Sport Mode' supposed to sort-out when to change gear and when not to?- I wasn't using the manual gate - and 10 seconds (at least) - is that safe?
Cheers
Nope, the PCM is pre-set and can't be overridden....this is both for your safety and your wallet.
