You know with DCT sometimes you don't know from HUD whether 1 is D1 or M1 -

And thinking it was D1 I accelerated so fast and problem is not hitting the limiter but not knowing I was doing it at all! Really tool my by surprise as I was sure I was D1 and probably hit 60-70 mph first gear then it did bounce off!

I don't abuse my cars and felt so bad for the engine -

I know that most people on track days especially with MT they hit REV limiter often but DO YOU REALLY believe it doesn't hurt the engine!
Is the S63 really better prepared for this type of revving and hitting the limiter?
