Redline 6900 RPM TC off bad for engine?

Forgot to shift from 4 to 5 traction control was off. Drove on highway switch to paddle shift redline 6900 RPM then engine cut off. Got me worry.

Really? I have traction control off all the times and I red-line around 6400-6600 RPM. It either hits the limiter or it shift up. I do this on a weekly basis. I never have the engine cutting off problem.

Curious as to how fast 6900 RPM in 4th gear is.

Didn't want to say the car still run great and no funny noise from engine.

I accidentally redlined and bounced off the rev limiter in first gear a few weeks ago... the engine did cut out.

I have not noticed anything different with the car yet... I now pay more attention when shifting in s-mode :D
