    1st gear redline

    I was going on the highway the other day. and i started to floor it. I didn't know i was in first gear, and i redline my car. And it got to 40 mph. So i was just wondering, if you guys ever got 40 mph in first gear.

    You must have been way past redline.

    If the engine didn't overheat and still runs smooth, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Ive only redlined my car in 1st once, 35ish mph

    i normally shift 500rpm or so before redline, holding out that extra second or so just isnt worth it IMO.
