ya i've seen a old civic hatch with a fart can just sit there in park or nuetral and bounce his sh*t off the rev limiter like 25 times...

and ya dont miss gears to shoot it over red-line, my friend's mom did that while test driving an A4 and the tranny dropped out the bottom go dragged as they rolled into the dealer lot
