Honda are known for having the power at the top end of the revs. So sometimes you need to rev it high to get the most out of the fantastic v-tech engine!!!! It should do it any harm as long as you keep the coolant and oil levels topped up and you look after the car. Don't hit the rev limiter for too long as this can lead to the engine being damaged or even blown!!!
Testing throttle response by revving the engine in park/neutral? Anyway, I wouldn't recommend that your friend does that, considering an Accord sedan is probably close to red lining at 6000 rpm's.
High revs wear out an engine faster, but a brief blip should not cause a problem.
sounds like you need to listen to Kelly
Shouldn't hurt, the computer will keep it from over reving, I rev mine up to the rev limiter everday for the past six years and still runs like a clock.
Most newer cars have a rev limiter that will stop the car from over-revving by cutting it off until the RPMs drop to acceptable levels, but it's still not good for the car to do it repeatedly. If you want to keep the car in good condition, use the same driving habits each time you drive...same speeds, same handling. New cars will acclimate to how they are driven most often because they get the same response every time. Odds are your friend didn't hurt the car...but don't let him drive too often...
5500 would have been fine but 6000 is just crazy and could blow up your engine
No, hope your friend have the money to get it fix in the near future when something goes wrong with your car. Hope you have your warranty. it's brand new, dont trust no one to test or drive YOUR CAR.
what is your friend doing in your car not great to rev but shouldnt hurt it just no need in it at all want to keep it in great shape get friend out of drivers seat
