Ok, It was last friday.
I floored my car (Not quite sure if I pedal-to-the-metald but),
I didn notice that i was in SS mode, My car kind of felt like
It was switching to 3rd but common, it was in SS and it was in 2nd.

So I am worried that If i went over Redline, and damaged my engine..

Please, any reply will be appretiated

You probably, if anything, bounced off your rev limiter. It's early yet still and I'm not totally awake, but it looks like you were up shifting, or the car wanted to up shift, but it was in SS mode so it held the gear up to redline? Any ways, I really doubt you caused any damage if you were in the red for a split second. Again, the rev limiter would have cut the fuel to protect the engine and you would have been in redline for only a moment. If you keep doing that, you may run into problems, but if it's just a one-time thing, you're probably safe.

I agree with orcaatk. Probably hit the rev limiter. Should not be a problem.

you cant over rev the tl. all you will do is hit the revlimiter which is there to keep you from doing damage. and no it wont hurt your engine to hit the limiter either
