Drive something else for a couple days let your butt dyno feel something of less power and then hop back in the z and tell us how it feels, all I can say is it will be a lot of fun all over...

![]() OP, most likely nothing bad happened, but it's hard to say through the internet. It isn't difficult to damage things by overrevving the motor. I can't tell you how many people I know that have destroyed a motor with just an overrev or two. |

in this case, i never mis-shifted per say, but since the computer automatically over-revved for me, i realized my mistake before it was too late. |

all modern cars have rev limiters, however a rev limiter wont save you from a mis-shift. the limiter will only stop the engine from revving too high during acceleration...but if you downshift from say 5-2 at 60-70mph...you will likely land over the redline due to how gearing works..

Either way, this is scary. I've done it before. I've been driving manual cars for a long time now. I don't know if you've done engine or clutch damage. I think only time will tell. |
