Going to battle it out with Mitsubishi

You cant over rev in neutral, It just isn't possible unless your factory rev limiter was removed. Maybe you miss shifted and it all happened so fast you cant remember. But that should cause damage to the motor right then, not 50 miles later?

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.
