Red lining

I floored my car from 1st gear to 4th gear and i popped it to fifth and it's hitting 120MPH now, but than all of a sudden the redline goes nuts and hits to 9RPM and goes back down since i got hella scared something would blow and went into neutral.

What the freak just happened?

it would be blatantly obvious if you threw it in 3rd again. so, did you do it man? are you <b>that</b> guy?

Nope, everything is stock. I don't even rememeber throwing it back into 3rd gear. I'm pretty sure it was 5th. I was curious since the RPM went nuts.

were you in fifth when it happened? or were you going into fifth? If it was already in 5th gear I would assume that your clutch gave out causing the engine to rev, but then again you have a rev limiter that would stop it if you were just holding down the gas. Unless of course you threw it in 3rd and the rev limiter really wouldnt do anything in that case.
