Is It okay to Rev a 2009 honda accord sedan to 6000 rpm`s?

My friend was checking the throttle response on it and revved it up to 6000 rpm`s is it okay to do that?He only did it for like one second but I still want to know because its a new car and i want to know how to keep it in good condition.

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

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.

5500 would have been fine but 6000 is just crazy and could blow up your engine

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...

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.

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.

sounds like you need to listen to Kelly

High revs wear out an engine faster, but a brief blip should not cause a problem.
