Default Possible engine damage

Hello,

my friend drove my car yesterday, he ripped it from 0 to 80 km in like 3 seconds, i noticed that when im standing outside, the car is not as quiet as before. Could something have been damaged or maybe its all in my head.

Thanks !

If it was immediately from a cold start with an ice cold engine and immediate wide open throttle, that wouldn't be ideal, but if the car was warmed up and he floored it, no problem. I drive mine like that every day.

0 to 80 Km in 3 seconds? Was it downhill in a hurricane (anyone old enough to get that reference)? Maybe the increased noise was from the turbos installed to more than double the acceleration rate of a stock LS.
