yesterday when my car was in park my cousin accident press the gas pedel and my car wen tto redline?
should i be worry about this or not?

 

OMG, are you crzy. Man your engine is fcked now. You better start to search for a new car. Damn you are in some **** now, why in the would would you want to take it to redline. Do not drive the car, the engine might explode since it was put under so much pressure.










































Going to red is not prob, there is a reason the revlimiter is there. As long as you don't go to red like 10times a day, you have nothing to worry about.

 

thanks dude

 

everytime i drive, if the car's warm, i redline at least once per trip. Oh yeah, the rev limiter kicks in 200 after redline.

if that kind of thing got an engine damaged id say more than 1/4 of this forum would be looking for new engines//just dont do it too often

 

Yes, but his car was parked. If you have a chance to drive any of the newer GM vehicles, mostly 4 cylinder models, you'll notice they have a 4krpm cutoff for reving at a standstill. Their redline is at 6k or so.

 

hahaha true

 

he drove the car and then put it in to park

 

You'll be fine, I redline my car a few times a day

 

I do it once a week, and she stills runs strong.

 

Ant96GLE and me think alike.

yeah, what's w/some cars having a rev limiter @ 2000 rpm when you're standing still? The cars are already low in torque, how do they expect you to do a burnout?

........

 

At least with a 5-speed, the tach will go WAY above redline if you floor it in neutral. I've done this by accident and I cringed at the way the VQ sounds at 8K or 9K indicated RPMs...couldn't be good. (A 5-speed in neutral will rev much faster than an auto in neutral or park.)

 

Holy cow! how'd you get to 8-9k?! Mine craps out about 200 past redline. Well, doesn't crap out, it just bounces there. Maybe SE's don't have rev limiter or speed limiter too?!

Jae

 

accidental downshift is the way most blow their engine, they are at redline in 3rd then slam it down to 2nd! That would make a problem.

 

I cant resist myself sometimes

 

yeah...my accidental downshift to first brought me to 7.5k once

 

You guys are all so funny ,ive reved my car up to 7700-8000 rpm over 200 times. With a engine with 200,000 + miles its still running

 

my mevi loves redline
