WOT Question? (Red-lineing 3rd gear)
Ok guys I have a question...I drive alot in SS and i recently seemed to be runnig into alot of challengers. I have redlined my 3rd gear (not paying attention) then the engine acts up, and I shift into 4th. I have done this 4-7 times now, I know it's my fault but...these idiots on the road are always trying to race me in my CLS 
I was wondering, what damage am I doing to my engine if I keep this habit up?

It's sound like your hitting your "rev limiter", which prevents you from damaging your car........at least Honda/Acura hopes so.....

Floor the throttle in 3rd and keep it that way...
when you come right under the red line keep your foot on
the throttle and shift up on the SS
what will happen is that since the SS thinks you already said to
shift before red line, it'll let you go into the red line while it
figured out how to shift you. Because your foot is on the throttle
shifting takes longer hence you go deeper into the redline and
will land at a higher RPM/torque in 4th.

If I am driving normally and someone pesterizes me by flashing lights, honking horns, blocking me from moving over, speed up-slow down, brake, gives me the finger, laughs, etc....I WILL THEN ME BE AN IDIOT ....AN PROUD OF IT! :P 
ANYWAY, this thread wasn't about my interaction with other people or badgering thorodred. It was about the car and the revlimiter.
ramiel408 - Thanks for the info, I will try it on an open road (w/ no traffic).

Actually I'd believe him if he said he didn't. After his posts in the "another race, another innocent person dead" thread, he strikes me as someone who should have saved a couple grand and bought a CL-P because they won't ever need the extra hp/torque.
