This is exactly what I thought. I'm 100% sure this was not a mechanical over rev and that the car was in neutral. I remember coming out of 3rd, down in to 4th, and hitting my wife's elbow which prevented me from getting in to 4th. So when I got back on the gas, I was out of gear.

If it is the true that the car can't over rev in neutral, and my car did over rev in neutral, then I'd say it's a failure of the rev limiter.

When it blew I was doing like 60-65 MHP in 5th. Just holding it steady, not accelerating.
