Not my 911. A friend blew it up by shifting from 4th to 1st instead of 4th to 5th. I've always been concerned about not going past redline since that incident.

Rev limiters work on killing spark to the cylinders, preventing the engine from powering itself above a certain number of RPM.

It does nothing to prevent someone from downshifting and slamming the engine to RPM above redline....potentially blowing the engine.
