    I don't think mine does it in Neutral but it definitely does in reverse!

    It's definitely launch control.......

    A lot of yokes have this. It's to protect the clutch I suppose.

    Why would you need to do this?

    Lots of reasons, one example would be finding a resonance rattle or vibration at say 2600 rpm.

    Try driving it at 2500 rpm. That's what it was designed to do.

    My 2010 Exeo does the same.

    Great for the emissions test at the NCT.

    That's what I meant.

    They rev it up to max rpm. Car won't let it go past 2500 rpm.
