Well the title explains it all...I was drivng on the freeway today and to avoid a car accident i had to sped up and cut to my left lane really fast and the G reved to 5.3k. Does this do any damage to my car? i got a 06 G auto. Man im sad now that i reved it that much it felt like i really hurted her.

 

LOL...Nah man, don't trip. One little rev isn't going to do anything to your car.

 

im almost at 700 miles on my 06 auto and ive done that more than once..i think your're alright

 

It'll be A-ok, no worries.

 

thanks for the replys everyone i got a lil scared there for a little while. I worked hard to buy this car...First car i ever bought so i want things to be good.

 

This will make you feel better. I raced a lancer and hit the shift gate and floored the gas and revved to about 6800 rpm on my 6mt. Yes thats a bit past my redline.

 

O yeah my car only has 450 miles on it too = (

 

I revved past 5k driving my brand new G off the dealership avoiding an accident with a BMW.

 

it's all good
the engine is built to be pushed

I rev it up that high everyday now
(I got 3500 miles on it)

 

I don't know why everyone trips about revving a new engine. When you take a new car for a test drive I'm sure you rev it. If you don't buy it, the next guy comes along and does the same, so on and so on.

Some people think it is better to load an engine heavily early on to help seat the rings.

It's a fun car, drive it and have fun.

I hit redline every day. The day that I don't savor every last HP, I'm trading it in for a Prius.

 

Amen!

 

I'm guessing this is your first new car. Unless your car has 1 or 2 miles on it the occasional 5000+ rpm won't hurt anything. And if it does, it's probably something that would have broken in a couple weeks anyway. Warranty.

 

The engines are broken in from the factory, do not worry about over revving.

 

I dident go pass 4k on my car till 500miles, because I dident want to glaze up the clutch. Right now it has 7xx miles on it and I have gone to red line coupe of times. Like others said, it won't hurt your engine, all I was worried was the clutch.

Don't worry. I accidentally hit the rev limiter when it only had 600 miles on it playing around with the manumatic feature.
