Red face OK.. How much damage did I do...

I was gettin on the highway today and this idiot wouldn't let me over so I tached it pretty high in second gear.. It bounced the rev limiter a few times... Absolutely nothing abnormal happened after I shifted to 3rd and it still drives fine and sounds fine. Did anything bad happen? Let me know guys, thanks. (and I know I'm an idiot)

If your car is running fine, then the rev limiter did its job

The revlimiter is your friend... i've hit mine quite a few times, from what i hear it's set low enough you'll cause no damage.

All I know is it bounced it a couple of times pretty high up (I think around 58 or 5900) and I was scared sh!tless. I just got this thing a week ago and I don't want to pay for a new ANYTHING on it! But you guys think everything's ok on it??

I think the limiter is around 6200-6300 rpm. I know my A4 runs up to 6100 w/o hitting it (no tuning).
