ELI5, is reviving your car bad?

534 views

Preface: I know nothing about cars, like nothing at all. In car movies they always rev their cars to be cool, but I’ve heard people irl say it’s bad to do. Is it? If so, why? Explain simply please because I don’t know enough about car mechanics to understand otherwise; I don’t know car terms either.

Meh it’s not bad. To a degree.

If you keep revving on the limiter for long enough the engine will most likely break and come to a very, very sudden stop. But just the occasional rev isn’t going to harm it.
