Unhappy reving high

i acidentally bounced my rev a couple times off the redline cause I was paying attention to my turn instead of how high i was reving!

how bad is this?

i'm thinking since our cars have rev limiters (unless u had urs removed), it shouldn't be that bad at all. now if ur operating ur motor in the redline range 55% of the time or more, don't expect to get 400K out of it...

then again, i know squat about motors. u may wanna go w/a second opinion...

i've seen tsuchiya redline the "esprit" ek9 a couple of times. i dont think its really that big.

i also asked my cous' friend and he said that it wasnt bad for the motor.
