Is it to warn you? Even my toilet cistern can slow down smoothly.

On cars? Yes. Cutting the engine abruptly when you hit the red line
wouldn't be good so they simulate ignition breakup to give you a hint.

But at that point you've already gone over the peak of the power curve.
I'd just make it drop the curve more quickly so it can never go too
fast.

Not possible to do that and still get the best performance.

You're getting **** all performance if you've gone over the power curve
anyway.

It doesn't drop off that dramatically.

Apparently this is a new thing, older cars did, fuel injection and turbos have reduced the sudden drop.

The driver would still feel the lack of power.

Makes more sense to have a rev limiter and much easier to do too.

And you ****ed up uk.d-i-y in the newsgroup list, you have uk.diy

No, the guy that made the group ****ed it up. How did you notice?

My news client whinged about it not being a valid newsgroup.

Your client? I've had a news server whinge. I guess it's a good thing, it stops typos.
