If this is a Customer car then this is almost certainly something to complain to Corporate about!

If it's a Demo car, then who cares!?!

There's another thread in this section where the guy that recorded the video posted that he did. He stated it was at a training session but still. Why do that

How damn stupid can you be? Bouncing off the rev limiter, not under load, with the a car that probably isn't even up to operating temps...

Where are those idiots from the "dealership wants to put 10 miles on my car thread" now who said it wasn't a big deal if the dealership messed around a little bit with the cars. Let them buy this car...

I was neutral on that subject until I saw this vid.

Now I agree... Fail!

I used to work at a dealership and guys used to do this to brand new cars immediately after turning them on all the time. It made me so mad.
