Laying in bed reliving the idiot move I pulled earlier today. Desperate for answers. Brand new Porsche owner. 2018 touring. drove manual my whole life. 67 camaro rebuild. 2014 z28. Audis jeeps yadayada.I can drive I thought.
3 days into my dream car I smack it into 2nd from 3rd at like 5500 rpms. I did this intentionally because I’m a moron and thought I still had plenty of room at 9000 rpm redline.. still getting used to this type of performance. Anyway jesus himself spoke to me through a disgusting rev Limit sound like a bro from Temecula revving his dirt bike in neutral. IT WAS AWFUL. Flys up to I think 9000+ I didn’t really have a moment to look down the sound scared me so bad. It was all a blur of regret.
here’s my question. Could I have money shifted this? Yes of course it’s possible but if I heard the rev limiter than I’m assuming a money shift wouldn’t have allowed for a rev limit because the momentum( if that was the cause) wouldn’t of allowed it to bounce the Rpms like it did. Anyway- what do I do. Don’t shame me. Thanks.
My estimate at 5500rpm in 3rd would be around 80-85mph. 2nd gear max is 78mph per thread below, you may have gone over rev limiter. That being said, you may also not have damaged the engine.

You should get a readout from the dealer and know what happened instead of guessing or asking others to guess with you. The results may, or may not, also impact resale. Many here who say no problem may have a different take if contemplating a purchase with documented high level over revs even if the engine is deemed “fine”.

Read out from the dealer will only give assurance of issue or no issue.
Resale value doesn't matter at this point as the action has been done and if OP enjoys the car then he won't care about resale.
