I thought you downshift over revved.

You jut pegged it?

Totaled for sure.

If you didn't downshift over rev then you are 100% fine. Even if you did you would be 90% fine if nothing went at the time.

Everybody is saying "totaled" and "part out" because that is standard forum banter when somebody asks such a question. It really means "Nothing is wrong don't worry".

omfg kill me now

It's rev-limited to 7400 rpm. When you said 8K that implied overrev. The only way to do that is to money shift.

NVM the oil. Go do some more donuts. Have fun. That's what it's all about.

I see some of the guys were ah messen wich ya. -

Personally, I don't feel it's a good idea to "hit the rev limiter".

Why not?

Because:

* it increases wear on the engine to spin it up that fast

* the engine has already produced its top HP and torque

* when you hit the rev limiter, the fuel is shut off to the engine and it stops (or slows down) for a moment.

* so, if the engine stops for a moment, you have just lost the race against the soccer mom in the mini-van

* or, if your in a tight curve, you just lost the forward thrust of the drive wheels

That's my take -

I gotta play the old out-of-touch guy here, I guess...

Are "swinging it" and "sent it on 1st gear" just a new way of saying "power oversteer" or "donuts" in first gear?

I've been involved in car communities and motorsports for longer than I care to admit, but these are new to me.
