What they need is a "get the F out of the left lane you Dbag" siren going off, especially 18 wheelers doing 55 in the left lane of an 80 mph limit highway pulling a rolling road block.
Ought to be open season on them. You can thank emission laws for this. They can't accelerate because it might use to much fuel, and not burn off properly. But yes, get the F out of the left lane...

If your engine is limited to below it's red line, I will bet you that something is wrong. We have had a lot of those vans, in fact my son still has one, and they would rev to the red line when in gear.  What is your red line? 6,000 Checked it this morning.

There were exactly zero stock 318 and 360 magnum engines that would do 6000RPM before fuel cutoff in neutral or in gear, most were at or just under 5000. My 2001 dodge ram van with a 360 magnum hits fuel cut off around 4800. I can also tell you that from putting a carb on it they are limited before 6000 RPM by valve float, they have very heavy lifters and very weak valve springs.

Well, I managed to blow past the Ram van part and jumped to minivans. Brain fade on my part.  3.8 V-6 minivans, which is what I am taking about, rev to 6,000. The RPM range should have clued you that I was not talking about a V-8.
