Rev limiters (fuel cutoff) are no good when you mechanically force your engine to spin to 12k rpms by shifting from 6th to 2nd at 80mph. All a rev limiter can do is limit how fast your right foot can spin the engine by applying more throttle, and then at a given engine speed it stops feeding fuel, revs bouce, then run back up, bounce.... Physically connecting the motor (through clutch and tranny) to the wheels which are turning at 80mph into 2nd gear which redlines at ~50mph will do serious damage to any car.
