Reving on Honda Prelude?

Its difficult to know exactly why it has changed what its doing.
You don't say if it has a VTEC engine or not.
I am not aware of any Preludes having Launch control, you would have a button that says so or there would be something in the manual about it if it did. I am certain that your friend is wrong.
There is a reason that most Hondas don't rev more than a certain amount if you are not in a gear, and that is for self protection, as the other posters have said. The shaky you describe is probably the rev limiter stopping the revs going any higher, its a good idea not to do this.

So I was reving on my 97 Honda Prelude (Semi-Auto) and I noticed something different from before.
I set the tranny on neutral and step on the brakes. then I rev.
The car only lets me rev up to 5000rpm, after that car gets shaky. It won't let me go past 5rpm.
After I let go of the brakes, car jumps forward (accelerates forward).
Before I can rev up to 7-8rpm, no problem.
I haven't done anything to the car, its bone stock. I just need to do a oil change (since its time to do one).
My friend said that my car has launch control, which I didn't even know about or even had.
Any suggestions? Opinions?
